The blue check

The blue check next to a name shows that, when we reviewed it, we confirmed the page belongs to the name shown there.

• For businesses, the page owner proved control of the stated domain, with a DNS record or a meta tag on the website.
• For creators, the page owner proved control of the stated social profile, with a code in its bio.

A person reviews every request before the check appears.

• We do not check ID documents or identity in a legal sense.
• The check is not a recommendation, a rating or a seal of approval for offers, content, qualifications or how reliable a business is.
• We do not check whether the linked social profile itself is genuine.

The check only applies to the name we confirmed. It disappears when the name changes, when the Pro plan ends or when the proof no longer holds. We remove it for false information or misuse.

Does a page with a check pretend to be someone else or use the check in a misleading way? Then report the page. The rules for the check are in § 11 of the terms of use (German).

With lynkpop Pro, request the check in your dashboard under “Verification”.
