Becoming a verified creator

To monetize your content on Ultra, you must complete our creator verification process. This ensures a safe, compliant platform for all users and protects both creators and viewers.
Quick verification: Most creators complete verification in less than an hour. Have your government-issued photo ID ready and the process is straightforward.

Age requirements

Ultra is an 18+ platform. All monetized creators must meet strict age requirements. Age verification protects minors, ensures legal compliance, and maintains platform integrity across all jurisdictions.

Age verification process

We verify your age through government-issued identification during the verification process. This is typically a one-time requirement. In certain cases, we may require additional documentation for age and identity verification.

Identity verification requirements

Required documents

You must provide ONE of the following:
  • Passport (any country)
  • Driver’s license (government-issued)
  • National identity card
  • State/provincial ID card
Requirements:
  • Must be current and not expired
  • Photo must be clearly visible
  • All text must be legible
  • Full document must be visible (no cropping)

Additional verification

Depending on your location, content type, and account activity, we may require:
  • Video verification: Short selfie video to confirm identity
  • Business documentation: If operating as a business entity
  • Secondary ID: For enhanced verification in certain jurisdictions
  • Verification calls: Phone or video call with our verification team
  • Ongoing verification: Periodic re-verification or additional inquiries to ensure account authenticity
We reserve the right to conduct additional verification at any time to maintain platform integrity and comply with regulatory requirements.
