How do I verify my server?
To verify a Discord server, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be the owner of a server that is the official representative of a company, brand or public figure (games, apps, services, personalities, etc.);
- Sync official accounts of other social networks with the server, to help with identification;
- Use an official email address related to the brand, company or public figure on the server.
After completing these steps, go to discord.com/verification, click on “Apply” and follow the instructions. Discord only checks channels that are identified as official, while fan-created or personal channels are not eligible.
