Creating Your Account and Getting Verified

Before you can buy, sell, or co-own anything on Slivvy, your identity has to be verified. This protects every member of the platform — including you.

Step 1: Sign up

Create an account with email and password, or sign in with Google. You can also choose your starting path:

I own an asset I want to list
I want to buy a share of an asset
My group is buying an asset together
I already co-own an asset

You can switch paths later — these just tailor the onboarding flow.

Step 2: Verify your identity (KYC/AML)

Slivvy uses a third-party identity provider to scan your government-issued ID and confirm a selfie liveness check. This is required for any financial activity on the platform.

You'll need:

A driver's license, passport, or state ID
A device with a camera for the selfie step
About 5 minutes

Step 3: Background check

Required before listing or buying. The check covers criminal, civil, and eviction history. Most results return within a few hours; some can take 1–2 business days.

Step 4: Turn on two-factor authentication

We strongly recommend 2FA for every account. Slivvy supports one-time codes by email today, with authenticator-app support rolling out. Enable it under Profile → Security.

Trust score and badges

Once verified, your profile will earn badges like:

ID Verified — KYC passed
Background Cleared — background check passed
Founding Member — joined Slivvy early
Superowner — high ratings from co-owners over time

Your overall trust score is a composite of these signals plus your platform tenure, review history, and payment record. Co-owners and listing owners see this score when you apply to buy shares.

What if I'm denied?

If verification fails, you'll get a reason and steps to dispute or retry. For complex cases, contact support.
