What “verified” means here
Photos can be added once your identity is verified, which includes a government ID check confirming you are over 18. You upload a photo, and a reviewer checks it is really you and approves it only if it is. If your face is not visible in the picture, a second, private photo is used to confirm it.
The copy you can post
From your photos you can download a verified copy. It is your photo with a strip underneath: the words “Verified photo”, a short code, a QR and the date it was reviewed. The code also appears in the corner of the photo.
How someone checks it
They open realr.me/p followed by the code, or scan the QR. The page shows whose photo it is and when it was reviewed. If you show that photo publicly it shows the photo too; if you keep it private it stays private.
How a copied mark is caught
Marks can be copied. So the page also lets a visitor upload the picture they were sent and compares it with the photo on record. A strip moved under a different picture does not pass.
What it does not claim
It does not say who sent the picture, and it does not say anything about the person beyond the fact that the photo is of them.
