Verification builds trust before you invest real time and emotional energy. Here's how to approach it.
Check for Platform-Level Verification First
The easiest starting point is choosing a platform that already verifies identity through Government ID checks before a profile is even visible. DearSathi applies this to every profile.
Cross-Check Details in Conversation
Ask questions naturally about career, education, and family — genuine matches answer consistently and specifically over multiple conversations.
Request a Video Call Early
A video call confirms the person matches their photos and profile details — an essential step before any deeper commitment.
Look for a Shared Social Footprint
A LinkedIn profile matching their stated career, or mutual connections, can add an additional layer of confidence.
Involve Family Where Appropriate
Many Indian families still play a role in verifying backgrounds — this remains a valuable, complementary layer alongside platform verification.
Start with ID-verified matches so verification isn't something you have to do entirely on your own.
