Phone and email

These checks confirm access to the contact method at the time of verification. They do not establish someone’s legal identity, how long they have used the address or number, or whether they will respond to you.

Real person and government ID

The Real person check confirms a real person was there for it. The Government ID check confirms a government ID was checked. Read the result shown for each. Neither check guarantees intentions, employment, skills or future behavior.

Over 18 and verified photos

The Over 18 check confirms the person is over 18, without showing a date of birth. A verified photo is one Realr has checked is really the person. It does not verify every image on their social accounts or establish their relationship status.

Couple verification

Couple verification means two people each passed their own checks and confirmed each other. It is not proof of marriage or legal relationship status. Each partner keeps control of their own private details.

Keep each result in context

A shared profile shows the checks its owner chose to include. The person opening it never sees the ID documents. More checks provide more specific information, but do not turn a profile into a safety or payment guarantee.
