How to Get Verified on Makao Match (and Why It Matters)

By Makao Match Team

That blue checkmark beside a name on Makao Match isn't decoration, it's shorthand for "this is a real, accountable person," and it changes how much others trust you before you've said a word.

Getting verified means you've submitted official documents, a National ID, KRA PIN or business registration, which our team reviews and confirms. To everyone else on the platform, that badge quietly says three things: this is a genuine person or business, their identity has actually been checked, and they're accountable rather than anonymous. In a market where fake profiles are a real worry, that reassurance carries weight.

The process is quick. Go to Account, then Verification, upload a clear photo of your National ID (front and back) or your business registration, and submit for review. Approval usually lands within about 24 hours, and you'll get a notification the moment it does.

It's worth the two minutes for reasons that show up fast. Verified users get noticeably more engagement, around three times as many chat messages from interested parties, because tenants simply prefer dealing with verified landlords and agents. Verified listings also rank higher in search, so you're more visible, and the whole system helps keep the platform safer for everyone. Verification takes a couple of minutes and lasts for good, trust worth building from day one.
