Verification Process
The CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
The verification process is used in order to securely confirm that your name and address are correct and valid.
Verification System
What is the verification system? In the verification process, we check to make sure your name and address are correct and valid. Once you have completed the process, your profile identifies you as a level 3 verified member. Other people viewing your profile may feel safer about communicating with and meeting you because you are verified. Some people choose to ONLY communicate with other verified members. It's all about your own personal preferences and feeling about safety. For some people, verification may not be important. For others, it is crucial. It's up to you
