Approval Guide
Platform approval processes follow specific criteria. Most rejections occur due to unclear identity verification, inconsistent documentation, insufficient profile content, or unclear profile signals. This guide explains common issues and how to address them.

Understanding the Approval Process
Creator platform approval is a verification process designed to confirm identity and prevent fraud. Understanding the common requirements helps you prepare documentation properly.
This guide provides educational information about typical approval criteria. Specific requirements vary by platform and may change without notice.
Approval Checklist
- ✓Government-issued ID matches your profile name
The name on your ID must match your profile name exactly. No nicknames, no variations.
- ✓Verification photo is clear, current, and well-lit
Your face and ID must both be clearly visible. No filters, no sunglasses, no blur. Take it in natural light if possible.
- ✓Face is visible and unobstructed
Your verification photo should match your profile photo. If you look different, that's a red flag for reviewers.
- ✓At least a small amount of starter content exists
Some platforms approve empty profiles, but having a bio, profile photo, and basic info filled out increases approval odds.
- ✓Bio does not reference external payment methods
Mentioning PayPal, CashApp, or other payment platforms in your bio can trigger rejection. Keep payment discussions to DMs after approval.
Common Rejection Reasons
- •Low-effort or blurry verification photos: If reviewers can't read your ID or see your face clearly, you'll be rejected. Retake if there's any doubt.
- •Mismatch between ID and profile: Name discrepancies, age mismatches, or photos that don't match will trigger rejection. Everything must align.
- •Empty or generic profiles: While not always required, profiles with zero content or generic bios are more likely to be flagged for review delays.
- •Stock images or recycled content: Using photos that appear elsewhere online, or content that doesn't match your verification photos, raises suspicion.
ID & Photo Guidance
For Your ID Photo
- •Use natural, even lighting (avoid harsh shadows or glare)
- •Hold ID steady or place on flat surface. No blur allowed
- •Ensure all four corners are visible
- •Check that all text is readable before submitting
- •No filters, no editing, no cropping that hides information
For Your Verification Photo
- •Hold ID next to your face. Not covering your face, not far away
- •Your face must be clearly visible and match your profile photo
- •No filters, no editing, no sunglasses, no face coverings
- •Take in good lighting so both your face and ID are in focus
- •Smile naturally. Be yourself, not a different person
Pro tip: Take multiple photos and choose the clearest one. Better to spend 10 minutes getting it right than wait 3 days for a rejection and have to resubmit.
Content Minimums
While some platforms approve accounts with minimal content, having these ready increases your approval speed:
- •Complete profile bio (at least 100-200 characters, specific to you)
- •Profile photo that clearly shows your face (matches verification photo)
- •At least one cover/banner image (shows you're serious about the page)
- •Basic pricing structure planned (you don't need to set it yet, but know your strategy)
Note: Requirements vary by platform. Some approve quickly with minimal content, others prefer more established profiles. When in doubt, more is better.
