Technical Support

If you can log in with Facebook but the person isn’t you, there’s a fatal error with your Facebook account. Your account has not actually been hacked, even though it may appear that way.

Most unfortunately, because this is a software bug in your Facebook account, it is very difficult to fix. However, you can try making edits to your account.

You can edit your location, delete and add photos, etc. Everything is editable except your age, but if you're a Gold member we can do this for you. We intentionally make it difficult to edit so that people do not lie about their age. You will not be able to complete ID verification without the correct age on your profile.

If all that does not work, you’ll need to delete your DateID account and start fresh with a brand new Facebook account. You can delete your profile in your Account Settings.

Sorry about this. It’s Facebook’s fault. We're frustrated, too.

When you start over, you'll need to be logged out of your old Facebook account entirely, including the Facebook app, Messenger, and your web browser.

If this has happened to you, and you have paid for a Gold membership, you should request a refund. Your Gold membership will not carry over when you create a new account.

Sorry, no. You will need to use Facebook to sign up for DateID.

When you sign up for DateID, we need your name, location, gender, date of birth and a profile photo in order to verify you. Facebook is a quick-and-easy way to provide this information, and works great for most people.

If you're in a small minority of people who do not use Facebook, we hope you will consider creating an account to signup for DateID. Just go to https://www.facebook.com. 

DateID has hundreds of millions of records, internationally. Most of them are not actual DateID members. If you have a common name, there will potentially be dozens of profiles with your name.

If you are already a member, and you've found non-member profile that appears to be you, you can "claim" the profile. Here's how:

1. View the full profile, like you're screening someone (your first 3 are free so you should not have to pay. If you're out of freebies it will be $0.99).
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Click the button that says "claim this profile". Here's how it looks.

It will only work if your Facebook account ID is the same as the Facebook account ID attached to the non-member profile. Otherwise, anyone could claim anyone's profile. If the two match, your member profile will be merged with the non-member profile.

DateID is agnostic to dating sites, and you can use it everywhere. We are university compatible with all sites and apps.

Scams, catfishing and general deception are a problem on all dating apps. We exist to help online dating users verify each other in order to to stay safe and avoid these problems.

You can copy the link and then send it via text, email or right on a dating app.

If you've leveled up to Gold, DateID is the gold standard for dating verification. Everything else is a scam.

If anyone is rejecting it and saying you need any other kind of ID, such as a hookup ID, meetup ID, safty ID, or anything that sounds similar, we're sorry to inform you that you're being targeted by scammers.

Do not give anyone payment of any kind.

Here are some reources on our blog:

• How the scam works
• A study of 10,000 scam victims
• How to avoid romance scams 
• How to background check your dates

We track these scams, which are constantly evolving, and would appreciate it if you'd send us specifics on the scam you're caught up in. Send it via the chat bot. Please include any websites or URLs people have sent you.

If you can’t verify your location, most likely your server or IP address is outside of the geofence we’ve set (out of our hands). This one can be tough to fix, but we have put together a detailed help article on it. Note that you don’t have to verify your location to level up Gold and get your ID.

If you’re a Gold member, and you have completed ID Verification, we will manually verify your location and add the blue check mark to your profile. Just type “paying customer” into the chat not and follow the prompts.

We first get your location from your Facebook profile, as you may have figured out. If your Facebook location was outdated, your DateID location may be incorrect. You can edit this in your Profile Settings, in the Facebook section. The same applies to your hometown.

Here's how it looks on a phone.

To manage photos, go to your Profile Settings https://www.dateid.com/profile/edit.

Then, click on your profile photo to open your photo albums. Photos are organized by social media source. You may have to filter to find the one you want.

To delete, select the one you want to delete, and click on the trashcan icon in the lower right.

You can also upload photos directly to the album from your phone or computer. When looking at the thumbnail display, click the blue"upload photo" button at the bottom of the screen.

If you're trying to get your photo verified, note that it will have to be a recent photo taken by your camera. You also have to upload it via Firefox or chrome. Safari does not work, as it strips the date away.

To save a photo as your profile photo, once you've selected the photo you want, hit “save”.

Please read our detailed help article on how to troubleshoot this.

This is a bug that was recently caused by a change Instagram made. We are actively troubleshooting it and expect it to be resolved soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Note that if you cancel your Gold membership, we will also need to take your profile down. So before you proceed, consider this: Thousands of men and women visit DateID daily to check up on their dates. Most of them do it anonymously. You've already completed ID verification and leveled up to Gold. Are you sure you don't want to look your best when your next love interest searches for you on DateID?

You’re much better off showing up as a verified Gold member than not showing up at all. Your verified DateID profile is good for a lifetime and there will never be any other charges to your account, so why take it down?

Go to your account settings and scroll down, you will see a place where you can delete. Once you're deleted you will be permanently removed from our database. All of your data will be scrubbed. We are sorry to see you go!
