Hey there! If you're planning on using HelloCity to book travel services, or if you plan on offering services in your city, we highly recommend that you become a verified member. Why? Because you'll be meeting new people in-person, and people naturally feel safer and more confident connecting with someone who's taken that extra step. Building trust is key in our community. Getting verified shows you're serious and gives you a Verified Badge on your profile that helps you stand out from the crowd. The more trust you build, the more connections you'll make—and the more unforgettable experiences you'll enjoy. Thanks again for being part of the HelloCity community.
While anyone can create and use our service for free, you'll find that most users – both travelers and service providers – prefer to connect with people who are verified, meaning they've confirmed they are who they say they are.
When you choose to verify your ID, you'll get a special Verified Member badge added right to your HelloCity profile. This badge is a quick way to show our entire community that you're genuinely you!
If you're a traveler, getting verified can really open doors! Many locals offering their services on HelloCity actually prefer to work exclusively with verified users and might even require you to be verified before you can contact them directly. Once you've got that badge, you're free to connect with any local you like!
For our local service providers, having a verification badge affixed to your profile is a huge plus. A majority of travelers on HelloCity prefer to meet with locals who've been verified. That badge creates immediate trust, letting potential clients know they can feel comfortable and confident meeting you. In fact, verified locals often receive up to 10 times more booking requests!
Ready to get verified? We make it easy with two simple options:
One-Year Verified Member Badge: This option is just $40.00 per year. It's a small annual payment that keeps your badge active for the life of your account.
Lifetime Verified Member Badge: For even more convenience, grab our Lifetime badge for a one-time payment of $100.00. You pay just once, and we'll handle re-confirming your badge each year with absolutely no additional charges, no subscriptions, and no hassle on your part!
To become a verified member, simply visit and follow the easy steps on the "My Verifications" tab on our platform. We're here to help you connect safely and successfully, and choosing to get verified is a great way to boost your trust and opportunities on HelloCity!
