Identity verified by Cadenic Studios
A government ID, checked by a person
Identity verified is for a person and Business verified is for an organisation. Neither adds features: they’re all free.
Once a year, with a full refund if we can’t match you. The ways to pay are just below.
Your ID and a selfie, here, in about two minutes, or a short call if you’d rather. A business shows us its website is its own.
It goes next to the name on your page, whatever name you use there. If anything doesn’t match, we refund you in full.

Right after you pay, you can do it here in about two minutes. You photograph your government ID and take a short selfie, and the check matches your face to the ID. If you’d rather talk to a person, you can book a short video call on Google Meet instead. It isn’t recorded.
You show us the business’s own website is yours, with a code we email to an address there, a DNS record or a tag on the home page, and the website links to your page. With no website of your own, a person looks up your public registration record instead.
Your page can use any name you like: a stage name, an alias, the name people know you by. The check reads the name on your ID and keeps it privately, and your page keeps the name you chose. Nobody sees it unless you book the call instead, when only the person doing your check does. It’s stored encrypted, and it never appears on your page, on your mark or anywhere public. It’s never sold, and we only hand it over if a court or the law makes us, telling you first unless the law stops us.
Once you’re signed in, you can add it here before you pay.
For an identity check, Didit reads your ID and your selfie for us. We never see or keep the pictures, and we never keep your ID’s number. What we keep is whether you passed, the date, Didit’s reference for the check, and the name on your ID, encrypted and shown to nobody. If your page has an 18+ section, your date of birth is used only to confirm you’re 18 or older, and it isn’t kept. Didit deletes the pictures and everything else from the check as soon as it’s decided. For a business, we keep the website it proved, which way it was proved and the dates we checked, and we look again once a year. A code we email is kept only in a scrambled form for 15 minutes, and we don’t keep the address it went to. If we have the name on your ID, we keep it encrypted while your check is current and delete it 30 days after the check ends, within a day of a refund if your check doesn’t pass, or 30 days after you saved it if you never buy a check. You can delete it yourself at any time, and it goes when you delete your account.
The mark sits next to your name, at the same size as the text. Anyone can tap it to see what we checked and the date we did it.

A line about you
portage.camp/@yourname
On a laptop, the Identity verified mark sits right beside your name and matches its size.
Business verified by Cadenic Studios
Open Tuesday to Sunday, by the water.
portage.camp/@yourbusiness
Business verified on a phone. It’s the same mark, just smaller.
Links confirmed
Links confirmed is free. Your page gets it once the profiles you list link back to it.
The mark is also on the five pages we run ourselves: @cadenic, @playdeltav, @playdeltavspace, @scorebug and Wyatt’s own page, @wyattmcph. On those, it tells you the page really is ours. Wyatt McPherson built Portage and runs Cadenic Studios.
