Two badges can appear on your profile. They mean different things and you get them in different ways.
The verified badge
A check icon next to your display name. It means you've completed identity verification — we've confirmed you are who your profile says you are.
How to get it: go to Settings → Account, find Identity Verification, and select Start Verification. You'll need a government ID and a device with a camera. It's available on Pro and Platinum.
The badge follows you around the platform: your search result card, your profile, and the reviews clients read.
See Getting Identity Verified.
The PLATINUM badge
A PLATINUM ribbon on your profile and search card. It shows while you're on the Platinum plan, including during the 14-day trial.
How to get it: upgrade to Platinum from Settings → Plan & Billing. The badge appears as soon as the plan is active and comes off if you move down a tier.
Why they matter for bookings
Clients can filter search results by Verified DJs and by Platinum DJs. Both filters are on by default in the sidebar, so a client narrowing a long list of DJs will often use them early. Without a badge you're not ranked lower — you're excluded from that result set entirely.
The two filters are independent, so a Platinum DJ who hasn't verified still won't appear under Verified DJs.
Profile tags are a third thing
Tags like Top-Rated Talent or Well-loved aren't badges. Some you choose, some are earned. See Profile Tags: Which You Pick and Which You Earn.
What neither badge promises
A badge says something about your account, not about a specific booking. Your rate, policies, reviews, and mixes are still what a client is really judging.
