The majority of content creators face issues in getting their OnlyFans account approved in a single attempt. Multiple failure attempts and a huge time spent on figuring out what could have possibly gone wrong don’t help them much in getting approval for their OnlyFans account.

Many content creators give up on having an OnlyFans account owing to multiple rejections for reasons they can’t comprehend. Elle, now a content creator on OnlyFans, says it took her 18 attempts in a span of 3 months to get her OnlyFans creator account approved.

Each time she tried, she received an email from OnlyFans citing reasons for rejecting her account approval request. Despite making the requisite changes, her approval request was rejected by OnlyFans each time.

“I got so frustrated on the 18th attempt that I almost gave up.”

There are many content creators like Elle who have spent days rectifying errors and resubmitting their OnlyFans accounts for approval, only to receive rejection emails each time.

Is there a way you can get your OnlyFans account approved in a single attempt? Yes, there certainly is. There are a few things you have to be careful about while setting up your OnlyFans account and submitting the same for approval.

In this article, we will tell you the OnlyFans verification process step-by-step and the reasons why your OnlyFans account keeps getting rejected. So, let’s begin.

What Is The OnlyFans Verification Process?

Before we jump to the OnlyFans verification process, here’s a caveat. Make sure you’re not using any fake details to complete your OnlyFans account.

Many content creators try to use the details of other entities to avoid sharing their personal details on the platform. Remember, trying such tactics will only lead to account rejection and add to the trouble.

Personal information you submit with OnlyFans is not shared publicly and is only for your account verification purposes. Therefore, make sure you provide valid details and are as authentic as you can be.

Given this in the backdrop, let’s now have a look at the steps for how to get verified on OnlyFans as a creator.

1. Sign Up Using Your Email ID

If you do not have an OnlyFans account already, the first step is to sign up for OnlyFans.

You can sign up in the following three ways:

• via your Twitter account – OnlyFans will use your Twitter account to log you into OnlyFans
  through your Google account – OnlyFans will use your Google mail account to log you into OnlyFans
• via passwordless sign-in – OnlyFans will use OTP or biometrics to log you into OnlyFans.

Out of the three ways mentioned above, signing up using your Email ID and password is the best.

Click on the ‘Sign Up for OnlyFans’ link right next to ‘Forgot Password’ and fill in your name, a valid email ID, and a secure password. Once you finish filling up these details, tap on the ‘Sign Up’ button below.

OnlyFans will now ask you to check the ‘I am a human’ box and take the captcha verification.

You must follow the instructions for the captcha and complete the verification.

Once the verification is successfully complete, tap on the ‘Sign Up’ button below.

2. Verify Email ID Via The Sign-Up Email

Once you sign using your email ID and a secure password, you will be directed to the home page of your OnlyFans account. You will see a notice “Please verify your email address” and a ‘Verify Email’ button right next to it. Tap on the ‘Verify Email’ button to verify your email address.

You will now receive an email from OnlyFans asking you to confirm your OnlyFans account using the link sent to you in the confirmation email from OnlyFans. Once you click on the ‘Verify Email’ button, you will be directed to this confirmation email. Simply click on the link below and verify your OnlyFans account.

You will now be directed to the page that claims that your OnlyFans account has been verified.

3. Complete Profile And Account Information

The next step after setting up your OnlyFans account is completing your profile ad account pages under the ‘Settings Tab’ on the menu. This is one of the most important steps where many creators go wrong. You need to ensure that you are filling in all the details on this page considering that you have to get your OnlyFans account approved. Let’s have a look at all the details you need to furnish on your profile page that will get your account approved.

i. Complete Profile Under The Settings Tab

a. Profile Image

Make sure you’re uploading a profile picture in which your face is clearly visible. This is one of the important steps for your OnlyFans account approval because OnlyFans would want only genuine content creators to register on its platform and create quality content for fans.

A clear profile picture would make it easy for OnlyFans to verify that it’s you, a content creator whose profile image matches with a genuine photo ID and who is willing to sell content on OnlyFans.

Don’t worry about how steamy or sexy you look in your profile picture as this is just for getting your account approved. You can change the picture later once you get approval. Many creators fail to upload a profile picture that has their faces clearly visible. This becomes one of the major reasons for getting their account approval request rejected.

b. Background Image

If you are an adult content creator providing sexually explicit content for your fans, you may be tempted to upload a background image that is provocative. This is because you may like to upload an image that defines clearly the kind of services you render. However, it must be an image that has you, clearly visible, and not something steamy. This is for the purposes of getting your account verified which means you can change the image once your OnlyFans account gets approved.

c. Username And Display Name

Put in your username and the display name in the space provided. You could choose any name that you want your fans to know you with.

d. About Section

You may want to list the services you’d be providing as an adult content creator in the ‘About Section’. But there’s no need to put these here for approval purposes. You may change your ‘About Section’ and mention what services you render later, once your account gets approved. For approval purposes, you can simply write that you are here to have fun and entertain fans with your content.

e. Location

Mention the location you are based on in this section.

f. Website URL

If you have a website, provide the URL to your website here.

g. Amazon Wishlist

This is optional. However, if you want to share your Amazon wishlist with your fans, you may provide it here.

ii. Complete Account Information Under The Settings Tab

Once you’re done with your Profile Page, the next step is to fill in the details on your ‘Account Page’. You will have to provide your account information such as your username, email, phone number (optional), etc. Apart from this, you’ll also be asked to link your social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You may link one or all of these accounts with OnlyFans as per your choice. Remember, linking your social media accounts is important as it helps in authenticating that you are a genuine user who already has various social media accounts running and is keen on joining OnlyFans as a creator.

4. Add Details On the Banking Page

Once you fill in details on the profile and account pages under the ‘Settings Tab’, the next step is adding your bank to your OnlyFans account. You can do this in the following two ways.

1. Via ‘Add Bank’ Link On The Profile Page

You can go to your ‘Profile Page’ under the ‘Settings Page’ and click on the ‘Add Bank Account or Payment Information’ link. This will direct you to the ‘Banking Page’ where you can link your bank account with your OnlyFans account.

Here the the steps you need to follow to link your bank to your OnlyFans account via your Profile Page.

a. Visit the Profile Page And Click On The ‘Add Bank’ Link

Click on the ‘Person Icon’ on the home page of your OnlyFans account and click on the ‘Add Bank’ tab from the menu.

b. Choose the Country Of Your Legal Residence

Select the country of your legal residence from the dropdown. Make sure you’re choosing the country of your legal residence carefully because you won’t be able to change it later if chosen incorrectly. Once you select your country, check the ‘Age Box’ below to confirm that you are at least 18 years old and the age of maturity in your country of residence and click ‘Next’.

c. Fill In Your Personal Information

Now, fill in your personal details including your legal name, address, city, postal/ZIP code, date of birth, your social media accounts, and attach your government-issued picture ID. Make sure you are adding at least one social media account here as it is mandatory.

The government-issued picture ID can be your driver’s license, passport, or ID card. Select the picture ID you want to use from the dropdown and upload the document here.

d. Upload The Photo Of Your ID And A Photo Of You Holding Your ID

This is another crucial step in your OnlyFans account verification process. Many creators fail to upload a clear picture of their government-issued photo ID and a photo of them holding their government ID in this section.

This becomes one of the top reasons for their account approval requests getting rejected. Make sure you clean your phone camera before clicking these pictures and have ample lighting for more visibility.

You can either take the photos on the spot or click them beforehand and upload them here from your photo library. You must go through the instructions provided carefully to avoid any errors.

e. Choose Release Forms And Expiration Date

Choose release forms if you have any and put the expiration date of such forms here in the space provided. In case you have none, check the ‘No Expiration Date’ box.

f. Check Explicit Content Box (optional)

Check the ‘Explicit Content’ box if you would be providing sexually explicit content through your OnlyFans account.

g. Click Submit

Now that you have filled in all the information, click ‘Submit’ to send your request for approval.

On clicking ‘Submit’, OnlyFans will take you to a page that claims that your account is being approved and that it will take 24 – 48 hours for review.

h. Fast Automated Verification

As you can see, you also have a ‘Fast Automated Verification’ button on this screen. This is another way to get your OnlyFans account approved quickly. This takes you to the website of another company by the name of ‘Ondato.com’ which helps you get your account verified more quickly. You must use this option as well to get your OnlyFans account verified.

If you click on the information icon ‘i’ given on the side, it will recommend you use a mobile device or device with a camera to pass this verification step. Accordingly, click on the ‘Fast Automated Verification’ button to get your account verified through Ondato.com. You’ll see a notification that you will now be redirected to a certified verification service ondato.com for completion of your identity verification. Simply click ‘Confirm’ to go to this alternate website for quick verification.

You’ll now see the website asking for your consent for personal data processing. This page mentions all the terms and privacy policies of the ondato.com. You can go through these details and if you’re aligned with these terms, click ‘I Agree’.

Once you agree with the company terms, it will now ask you to identify yourself. Simply press the ‘Start Button’ below and follow the instructions for identity verification. Make sure that your phone camera is clean and you are sitting in a place that is properly lit.

It will now ask you to allow ondato.com to have access to your phone camera. Simply click ‘Allow’ and try to fit in the frame for a selfie.

Once you take the photo, it will ask you to select a government-approved photo ID document from the list of documents mentioned. These include your passport, identity card, and driver’s license. Select the document you want to use from the dropdown and upload the same.

Like earlier, it will now ask you to upload a picture of the front side and the backside of your government-approved ID that you have uploaded. Make sure that your ID is clearly visible in the photo. Click ‘Start’ to upload the front and rear view images of your government ID.

Once done, it will take close to 120 seconds to verify and will take you to the same page where you started your Fast Automated Verification. You’ll see the same notice here that your account is being approved and will take 24-48 hours for review.

Since there are no other details being mentioned here, you’ll have to wait for 24-48 hours and check again for your account approval. If all goes well, you’ll receive a confirmation email from OnlyFans claiming that your account has been approved as shown in the screenshot below. You can now log in to your account and fill in the necessary details to link your bank account to your OnlyFans account.

2. Via the ‘Add Bank’ Tab in the Main Menu

If you don’t want to use the ‘Profile Page’ for your account verification, you can also continue with the account verification process by clicking the ‘Add Bank’ tab in the main menu and accessing the ‘Banking Page’ to link your bank to your OnlyFans account. Once you do that, you need to follow the same steps as mentioned above for submitting your OnlyFans account for approval.

Why Is My OnlyFans Account Not Getting Verified?

There can be a number of reasons why your OnlyFans account verification request keeps getting rejected.

1. Poor Quality Selfie Holding Government ID

Your selfie holding the government-approved ID is not clear or is of poor quality.

2. Poor Quality Image Of Government ID

The photo of your government ID needs to be clearly visible or be of better quality.

3. Expired Government ID

The government-approved ID you have uploaded is expired or will expire in the next 30 days. 4. Damaged Government ID The government-approved ID you uploaded is damaged or invalid. It has holes, is cut up from the sides, or is cracked/taped.

4. The ID Not A Government Approved

The ID you have uploaded is not authorized by the government or does not have your photo on it.

5. A Secondary ID Needed

OnlyFans need a secondary government ID with English characters such as an international passport.

6. Front And Rear View Pictures Of Your ID Needed

OnlyFans require the front and the back view images of the government ID that you are uploading for verification.

7. Selfie And Government-Issued ID Photos Needed

You need to upload a selfie holding your government-approved ID and the front and rear view images of your government-approved ID for verification if you haven’t uploaded these.

This is one of the major reasons why your account approval request may get rejected. Make sure you are sitting in an area that is properly lit when clicking these photos.

Also, ensure that you’re cleaning the camera lens to avoid blurry photos and using a good-quality camera for high-quality pictures.

8. OnlyFans Verification By Additional Social Media Required

Say you have already connected ‘Twitter’ with your OnlyFans account. It may be the case that OnlyFans may require you to link additional social media accounts like Facebook or Instagram with your OnlyFans account. Do as required because this helps OnlyFans to authenticate that you are a genuine user willing to have a creator account on OnlyFans.

9. Background Image/Profile Photo Doesn’t Match Criteria

If your profile picture or the background image is not as per the criteria set by OnlyFans, your approval request may get rejected.

This is another very common reason why creator accounts for approval get rejected. The following points regarding profile/background photo may lead to account rejection.

• the profile/background image does not match your identity. If you are using third-party content make sure you provide the following:
  • Creator’s ID
  • The creator’s photo holding the government-approved ID
  • A creator-release form
  • Creator’s selfie photo holding the signed release form
• The profile/background images are confusing. In other words, these images must have a clear picture and give a fair idea about the content you want to provide
• the profile/background image contains nudity or sexual content. These shouldn’t be revealing nudity or sexual material but should have you, clear and visible.
• In case of 2 or more creators submitting the application, the following documents must be submitted:
  • All creators’ government-issued IDs that are not expired
  • All creators’ selfie photos holding government-issues, non-expired IDs

10. Violation Of Terms Of Service

Your request for OnlyFans account approval will be rejected if it violates OnlyFans’s terms of service in one way or the other. Here are some of the ways your OnlyFans account could be violating the platform’s terms and conditions.

• Your account promotes escort services
• The submitted account suggests direct contact with the fans
• It uses or suggests third-party payment processors or services in the About Section, website URL, profile photo, or cover image
• The owner of the submitted account is not 18 years old or above.

Is It Hard To Get Verified On OnlyFans?

The OnlyFans verification process is fairly simple but is time-consuming. There are a number of steps involved requiring you to provide your personal details and submit a few documents, which must be carried out carefully to get your OnlyFans account approved in the first attempt. You must go through the terms of service and the company policy and keep the necessary documents handy as recommended to avoid account approval rejection.

How Long Does It Take To Get Verified On OnlyFans?

It takes 24-48 hours for your OnlyFans account to get approved if all the information and the documents submitted are as per the company requirements. Many times, creators get rejection emails citing reasons for non-approval. Therefore, make sure you’re following the above steps for account verification to avoid any delays.

How Can I Bypass Verification In OnlyFans?

There’s no way to bypass verification in OnlyFans. If you are a creator who is willing to have an OnlyFans account and make money via adult content, you will first have to submit your OnlyFans account for approval. OnlyFans allows creators 18 years and above, who have a valid government-approved ID and fulfill all the requirements to be a creator, to have an OnlyFans account on the platform. There’s no way to escape the verification process as OnlyFans wants genuine creators to come on the platforms and create quality content for the fans.
