Where profile verification is available, you can verify with BankID if you’re in Sweden, or by sending us a photo of your driver’s license or passport. It isn’t available on every account, so you may not see it.
How to verify
- Tap your profile photo in the bottom-right corner to open the “You” tab.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open “Settings”.
- Tap “My account”.
- Tap “Profile verification”. If you don’t see it, verification isn’t available on your account.
- In Sweden, tap “Continue to verify” to verify with BankID. Anywhere else, tap “Verify with photo ID” instead.
For the photo ID option, see Verify your profile with a photo ID.
Verifying with BankID
- Tap “Continue to verify”. The BankID app opens.
- Confirm your identity in BankID, then return to Smitten.
- Pick one or two parts of your name to show on your profile.
- Check the “Verification summary” and tap “Confirm”.
BankID verification runs through our partner Signicat. It confirms your name and date of birth.
What happens to your name and date of birth
When you confirm, the name you picked becomes the first name on your profile, and your verified date of birth replaces the one on your profile. We also record that you verified with BankID. Other people only see your first name and your age, never your full name or your date of birth.
Good to know
- Verification checks your ID, not your photos.
- Once you’re verified, your profile shows a verified badge and the setting reads “Your profile is verified”.
- After you verify, you can’t change your name in the app.
- If your ID shows you’re under 18, your account is suspended.
- Once you’re verified, you can turn on the “Verified profiles” feed filter to only see verified people in your feed.
