CrowdGen appears to verify identity through a personalized verification link, where you submit an accepted government ID such as a passport or driver’s license, and in some cases a separate live/selfie-style check may be part of the process. It also appears to verify location by checking that your account details and physical/IP location are consistent, with mismatches sometimes causing problems or rejection.

Identity verification

CrowdGen says identity verification is required for many projects and is handled through a third-party verification provider. The public CrowdGen page says you get an email with a personalized link, and that passports and driver’s licenses are commonly accepted.

Location verification

Public forum posts suggest CrowdGen’s “location verification” is meant to confirm you are in the country or region you claim, and that they may look for consistency between your IP address, physical location, and profile information. One source specifically mentions IP and physical address mismatch as a common issue.

What users report

People on CrowdGen forums report that identity verification can take anywhere from less than a day to about a week, depending on the case. Some users also describe a mandatory identity-and-location step that must be completed within a time window to qualify for projects.

Practical takeaway

If you’re going through it, the safest approach is:

  • Use the exact legal name on your ID.
  • Upload a clear, uncropped document image.
  • Make sure your location, IP, and profile country line up.
  • Complete any follow-up selfie or consent steps promptly.
