Verified means we checked.
TAP checked that the people behind this profile are the artist or their team. Verified shows in the footer of every page and in every app that reads the artist, with the date. The artist cannot set it. Nobody else can copy it.
One word, one meaning.
TAP checked that the people behind this profile are the artist or their team. Nothing more, and nothing less.
It means
- TAP checked that the people behind this profile are the artist or their team.
- Apps and platforms that read the artist do not check again. They read the date it was verified.
- The name and the handle are locked from then on. A change goes past TAP first.
It does not mean
- That the bio is true, or that the pages are complete.
- That the artist is popular, signed, or booked.
- That the person at the door is who they say they are. That is what the passport is for.
A verified page carries the card.
The badge in the footer of the website, the links page, the music page and the EPK. Press it and this opens. An artist we have not checked carries nothing: no item in the footer, no badge in the EPK title.
TAP has not verified this artist. The pages work: the website, the links page, the music page and the EPK all open, in the artist's branding. They say nothing about verification, and no app reading the artist gets a date.
In the footer, in every app, in the API.
On your four pages, in every app that reads the artist, and in the API. Every reader gets the date with it, so nobody checks again.
The verified badge in the footer of every page. On the website, the links page, the music page and the EPK. In your branding, but the badge keeps TAP's colour whatever accent you pick.
In the roster, verified included. Software that reads the artist shows verified beside the name. In the app your agency uses, the artist that comes from TAP carries it and the ones typed in do not.
A date, not a flag. Every app that reads artists gets verified_at with the profile. Null means not verified. What it costs at volume is on the partners page.
Request it. We check.
Free, and the artist works without it. An owner requests from the artist once the account has a verified phone number.
What makes the check quick.
Under Verification in the artist, five things and whether each is done. Which of them the check rests on is ours to decide, and it can differ per artist.
Verified rests on a check. The check is ours.
We say that we check, never how. The methods are ours to choose and change. That way nobody can build a profile to pass them.

The handle, the pages, your team and verification. No card, no plan, no watermark. Request it once the profile is yours.
