A little more certainty before you move forward
Before you send money or do business with someone you don’t know, ask them to verify who they are.

MaxVFY makes it simple. Enter their name and email. We send the secure request. They complete the identity check. You get the result.

The person you invite does not pay. Verification confirms identity; it does not determine whether someone is trustworthy or whether a transaction is safe.
“I don’t really know this person yet. Before I move forward, I’d like them to verify who they are.”
That simple moment is why MaxVFY exists.Why MaxVFY exists
Online, it’s easy to claim a name.
A professional-looking website, email address, social profile, phone number, or message does not necessarily tell you who is actually on the other side.
MaxVFY gives you a straightforward way to ask that person to complete an identity check before you decide whether to move forward.

When identity matters to an ordinary permitted transaction, send a verification request first.
Someone wants you to prove who you are?

Verify Yourself →Questions before you pay
Simple answers to the questions people usually ask.
What does VERIFIED mean?
VERIFIED means the person successfully completed the identity check associated with that MaxVFY record. It does not guarantee honesty, safety, financial reliability, or future conduct.
Does MaxVFY tell me whether someone is trustworthy?
No. MaxVFY helps confirm identity. You still decide whether to proceed with the person or transaction.
Does the person I invite have to pay?
No. You purchase the verification request. The recipient completes the invited identity check without purchasing MaxVFY access.
Will I receive a copy of their ID?
No. Sensitive identity documents are handled through the verification provider. You receive the result and limited verification-record information through MaxVFY.
What if the person refuses to verify?
Participation is voluntary. If they choose not to complete the request, you decide whether you still want to move forward.
Can I request just one verification without subscribing?
Yes. One verification request is $2.99 and does not create a recurring subscription.
One less unknown
Don’t really know who is on the other side?
For $2.99, you can ask them to verify their identity before you decide what happens next.
