Does selecting an identity make me verified or give me extra access?
Choosing an identity at signup describes your profile. It is self-declared and separate from verification and extra access, as explained below.
No. A profile description is normally self-declared. It is separate from verification, reputation, membership and permission to act for someone else.
Choosing an identity: what you need to know
- Author, Bookstore, Athlete / Sportsperson and other descriptions say what the member selected. They do not establish qualifications or authenticity.
- Connected-account indicators, platform validation and earned ZOMZEY Star tiers remain separate signals. Paid Agency membership is also separate.
- A description does not grant offer, funding, release, refund, representation or administrator access. Use only the actions your actual account and deal make available.
- High-trust or regulated titles must not be presented as platform-verified solely because they are in the catalogue. Reserved platform claims are not allowed in custom identity text.
Common questions about choosing an identity
Does choosing an identity change which tools I get?
No. Your tools come from the signup option you picked, promotion, earning or Agency, and from any paid membership. Choosing an identity only changes the public label on your profile and how members filter for you in Discover.
Is choosing an identity the same as being verified?
No. A description is self-declared. Verification signals on ZOMZEY are connected social accounts with validated audience figures, completed Protected Payments, reviews and earned Star tiers, and none of them is granted by the label you chose.
Can I pick a regulated or professional title when choosing an identity?
You can choose a title that is true for you, for example Journalist or Solicitor, but it must not be presented as platform verification, and reserved words such as Official, Verified, Support or Admin are never allowed. Misleading labels breach the Acceptable Use Policy and can lead to the account being restricted.
What should I check instead of relying on someone’s chosen identity?
Open the profile and look at the validated audience figures, the completed deals, the reviews from the other side of those deals and the Star tier. Those are earned signals the platform can observe, so they tell you far more than the label. For a business, the Companies House register lets you confirm that a company exists and who runs it, and a short conversation in Messages before you agree a deal settles most remaining questions.
