Verification Protocol
Verification raises the cost of pretending.
What to know
Verification Protocol
No verification system can guarantee a person’s intentions. These controls are one safety layer: they help identify inconsistencies, underage access, duplicate accounts, and attempts to misrepresent identity or location.
What verification does—and does not—mean
A verified status means the required checks were completed at that time. It is not a background check, character reference, or promise that an offline meeting is safe.
Practical next steps
- Never send money because a profile appears verified.
- Keep early conversations in Novia’s protected channels.
- Report changed photos, inconsistent details, or attempts to bypass checks.
