What is Creator Verification?

Creator verification is SxyHub's mandatory age and identity confirmation process for all content uploaders. It fulfills our legal obligations under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and ensures the platform remains safe and legal. Until verified, creator accounts can browse and interact, but cannot upload videos.

How to Submit Your Verification

  1. Log in to your creator account and go to Studio → Verification.
  2. Take a clear, well-lit photo holding your government-issued ID next to your face. Your face and the ID must both be clearly visible and readable.
  3. Upload the photo using the uploader on the verification page.
  4. Select your country of origin from the dropdown.
  5. Click Submit Verification. Your status changes to Pending.

Our team reviews submissions within 1–3 business days. You'll receive an email notification at completion.

Accepted Documents

  • National passport (any country)
  • Government-issued national ID card
  • Driver's license

The ID must show your date of birth (confirming you are 18+), your full name, and a photo. Expired documents are not accepted.

Verification Statuses Explained

  • Not Submitted: No verification sent yet — click Submit to begin.
  • Pending: Under review by our team. No action needed.
  • Approved: You now have a verified badge and full upload access.
  • Rejected: The submission didn't meet requirements — see below.
  • Expired: Your verification lapsed — resubmit to continue uploading.

If Your Verification is Rejected

You'll receive a notification with the rejection reason (e.g., "Photo is blurry", "Username not visible", "ID expired"). To resubmit:

  1. Read the rejection reason carefully.
  2. Take a new photo addressing the feedback (ensure good lighting, both face and ID clearly visible).
  3. Return to Studio → Verification and upload the new photo.

If you believe your rejection was in error or need guidance on a specific document type, contact SxyHub Creators. Include your username and the rejection message.

Verification photos are used solely for age/identity confirmation. They are:

  • Stored encrypted and accessed only by authorized review staff
  • Never shared with third parties
  • Retained only as required by law (per our 2257 Statement)
