How Verification Works

Every profile on Solonym can earn trust badges that prove authenticity to anyone who visits.

Verified Online Presence

Verify at least one social account (or, for registered entities, your website via DNS). Self-service — takes minutes. Available to all identity types.

Verified Identity

Person type only

For publicly recognizable individuals and licensed professionals distinctively known by this name. Connect your established public accounts or provide other supporting evidence associated with your name, then submit your application for review. If approved, you'll receive the Verified Identity badge. If you registered at the standard rate, a one-time upgrade fee equal to the difference between the two tiers is charged only after your verification is approved. Protected person names must be verified before the profile becomes publicly visible. No payment is charged until verification is approved, and if verification is not approved, the name is released and no fee is charged.

Verified Registered Entity

Entity type only

Submit official registration documents and our team will review them as soon as reasonably possible. For most entity registrations this is optional and entirely self-initiated from your dashboard, though it is required for some protected or institutional names. If you registered at the standard rate and are self-initiating an upgrade, a one-time fee equal to the difference between the two tiers is charged only after your verification is approved. For names where verification is required before activation, no payment is collected until verification is approved; if verification is not approved, the name is released and no fee is charged.

Verified Family Association

Family type only

Submit publicly accessible evidence of your association with a Family — an extended kinship group sharing common ancestry and a collective identity across generations. No private documents required; reference URLs, social presence links, and other public sources are all accepted. The Solonym team reviews your submission. If you registered at the standard rate and are self-initiating an upgrade, a one-time upgrade fee is charged only after your verification is approved. For protected Family names, or any Family name where verification is required before activation, no payment is collected until verification is approved; if verification is not approved, the name is released and no fee is charged.

Verified Government or International Institution

Coming soon

Reserved for governments, accreditation bodies, and verified institutional authorities. By direct admin approval only.

Prices may change over time. Active subscribers are notified at least 30 days before any price changes take effect on their renewals.

Grace period on lapsed subscriptions

If your subscription lapses, your name enters a 30-day grace period. During this time it remains locked in — no one else can register it. After 30 days without renewal, the name is permanently released back into the registry.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I don't renew?

Your name enters a grace period. During this time it remains locked in for you. After the grace period ends, the name is released back into the registry and anyone can register it.

Can I transfer my name to someone else?

Name transfers are not supported in the current version of Solonym. We may consider adding it in future releases.

Can two people own the same name?

No. Each name has exactly one owner. Names are compared in a normalized form so "John Smith" and "john-smith" are treated as the same name. It works on a first-come, first-served basis.

What is the early adopter offer?

Early adopters receive their first registered name for free for year one — no payment required, no credit card needed. Standard annual pricing applies from year two onward.

Is there a refund policy?

All sales are final. Subscriptions are non-refundable once purchased. You may cancel renewal at any time to prevent future charges. Verification upgrade fees are charged only after a verification submission is approved — no fee is charged for unsuccessful submissions. For registrations where verification is required before activation, no payment is collected at any stage until verification is approved. If verification is not approved, the name is released and you are not charged.

How many names can I register?

It depends on the identity type. Some types are limited to one per account; others allow multiple registrations. The limit for each type is shown in the pricing table above.

What happens if Solonym raises prices?

Active subscribers are notified at least 30 days before any price change takes effect on their renewal. You will always know your renewal price before it is charged.

What is entity verification and do I need it?

Entity verification (the Verified Registered Entity badge) confirms your profile represents a real, officially registered organization. For most entity registrations it is optional — you can self-initiate it from your dashboard at any time. Solonym may require it for protected brand names or institutional registrations. Verified entities renew at the Verified Registered Entity annual rate. If you registered at the standard rate ($49.00/yr), a one-time upgrade fee equal to the difference between the two tiers is charged only after your verification is approved. Early adopters receive year one free at the base entity rate; if you later self-initiate verification, the same upgrade fee applies — charged only after approval. For protected or institutional entity names where Solonym requires verification before activation, the full annual subscription is charged only after verification is approved, and no fee is charged if verification is not approved.

What do the trust badges on a profile mean?

Solonym has five trust badges. Verified Online Presence means at least one social account has been verified — or, for registered entities, a website domain — any profile type can earn this. Verified Identity means the person has been confirmed as the individual distinctively known by this name, based on verified evidence of their identity and admin review. Available only for the Person identity type. Verified Registered Entity means official registration documents were reviewed and approved by Solonym — available to Entity type only. Verified Family Association means publicly accessible evidence of association with a Family was reviewed and approved by Solonym — available to Family type only. Verified Government or International Institution is reserved for governments and accreditation bodies — coming soon.
