Get verified on Mindhyv: the checklist

Verification is how a brand-new storefront earns a buyer’s trust.

On a new marketplace, buyers are cautious — they don’t know you yet, and a fresh profile with no history is a leap of faith. The seller verification program exists to close that gap. It’s an independent check on who you are and whether you can be relied on, so a buyer doesn’t have to take your word for it. This is a spec of what the program looks at and how to prepare — not a promise about any individual outcome.

What verification actually checks

The program is built around three things a buyer wants to know before they hire a stranger:

1. Identity — that you are a real, specific person or business, not an anonymous account.
2. Track record — that you have a genuine history of doing the work you claim.
3. Payouts — that money can move to you cleanly and legitimately, tied to a verified account.

Together these back the verified badge: it signals real, so buyers can spend their own vetting time deciding if you’re right for their project rather than wondering if you exist. For why that matters more than a star rating, the buyer-side view is in why verified matters.

Prepare identity

Have your identification ready before you start, so you’re not scrambling mid-process:

• A current government-issued photo ID
• Your legal name matching that ID
• If operating as a business, your registration or EIN — sort this early via licenses and legal basics
• Contact details that are current and reachable

Prepare track record

Assemble evidence that you do the work you say you do:

• A portfolio of real work — if you’re new, build samples first using portfolio with no clients
• Any early client references or testimonials you can point to
• A clear, honest service listing that matches what your portfolio shows
• Relevant credentials or certifications if your field requires them

Prepare payouts

So verified work actually reaches your bank:

• A business bank account ready to receive payouts
• Your details matching your verified identity (mismatches slow things down)
• Payout method configured — see payments and payouts

Start it early, and keep it honest

Verification can take some time to process, so begin it early in your setup — it’s a day-four task in your first week on Mindhyv precisely so it’s clearing while you finish everything else. Two things to remember: the specifics of what’s required may evolve as the program develops, so follow the in-product steps as the source of truth; and never misrepresent your identity or history. The entire value of the badge is that it’s honest — a verification built on false claims helps no one, least of all you when a buyer finds out. Prepare the three categories above, submit accurate information, and you clear it the first time.
