/ Manually verified. Always.

Every profile checked by a real human before you connect.

No bots cleared our gate. No catfish made it through. Here's exactly how the process works — and why it can't be automated.

Submit your profile

A human reviews it

Cleared to connect

You fill in your details and upload a clear photo. Nothing goes live yet — your submission enters a manual review queue.

Our team checks every submission personally. No automated pass-through. A real reviewer confirms identity before anything moves forward.

Approval unlocks messaging. You can only talk to verified members — and they can only talk to you because you're verified too.

Verification is the gate, not a badge you earn later.

Until your profile clears review, you cannot message anyone. The wall is intentional. It's what keeps every conversation on MeriCrush worth having.

We'd rather process 1,000 submissions slowly than let a single fake account through. That's the trade-off we make — on purpose, every time.
