VERIFICATION

Verification badges

A badge next to a name is a statement by OKIAS, not by the account. It is granted by our review team, never bought, and never set by the app on your device.

The three tiers

Basic — identity confirmed

This is a real, reachable person and the account is in good standing.

  • A phone number verified over WhatsApp, still active and reachable.
  • A real display name — no impersonation, no misleading handle.
  • A profile photo showing the person or their own brand mark.
  • At least 30 days on OKIAS Messenger with no upheld reports.
  • No active suspension, and no ban in the previous 12 months.

Advanced — business or public account

An established business, organisation or public figure, verified against documents.

  • Everything required for Basic.
  • A business account type, switched on in Settings → Business.
  • A complete business profile: description, hours and at least one link.
  • Proof of the business or public role — a registration document, a tax number, an official letter, or two independent news sources.
  • The name and link on the account match that proof exactly.
  • A working support channel on the account: an email or phone number that answers.

Premium — official OKIAS

Official OKIAS accounts and top-tier partners. Granted by OKIAS only.

  • Operated by OKIAS, or a partner under a signed agreement with OKIAS.
  • Granted by OKIAS at its own discretion — this tier cannot be applied for.

How badges work

  • Badges are decided on our servers. Nothing your app or anyone else sends can add, change or fake one.
  • A badge applies to a single account, never to a group.
  • A badge confirms identity; it is not an endorsement of what the account says or sells.
  • A badge can be revoked — for impersonation, for a name change that breaks the original proof, for transferring the account, or for abuse.
  • Revoking a higher tier may leave a lower one standing if that one still qualifies.
  • We never ask for a payment, a code or your PIN in exchange for a badge. Anyone who does is not OKIAS.

Requesting a badge

Email us from the address on the account with your @username, the tier you are requesting, and your proof attached. We review requests in the order they arrive and reply either way.
