Profile verification on Blindbandit Mobile

A verification badge on Blindbandit Mobile tells other members that an account really belongs to the person, artist or organization it names. This page explains what the badge means and what it does not mean, who can apply, how to apply, how applications are reviewed, and how to protect yourself from accounts that pretend to be someone else.

What the badge means

The badge means one thing: Blindbandit Records reviewed the account and is satisfied that it is the official account of the person or project it represents. On the verified @mrblindbandit profile, for example, the badge confirms that the account is operated for Mr. Blindbandit and Blindbandit Records.

What it does not mean

• It is not an endorsement of every post, opinion or external link the account shares.
• It is not approval by Google, Apple, a streaming service or any other company. It is issued only by this service.
• It does not make private messages a safe place for passwords, sign-in codes, card details or payments.
• It does not guarantee earnings, a label agreement, a booking or approval for creator monetization.
• It is not permanent. A badge can be removed if an account changes hands, misleads people or breaks the Community Guidelines.

Who should apply

Verification is meant for accounts that people could reasonably confuse or impersonate: artists, producers, bands, labels, collaborators who appear in the catalog, journalists and other public figures. Most members do not need a badge to use the feed, messages or calls, and not having one is not a mark against you.

How to apply

1. Sign in to Blindbandit Mobile with your own account. The application is linked to the account you are signed in with.
2. Complete your profile first: a clear display name, a short bio and, if you have one, your official website.
3. Open the verification application on this page. Once you are signed in, the form appears below this guide.
4. In the evidence box, explain who you are and why the account represents you, and add public references that confirm it. The box accepts up to 4,000 characters.
5. Submit. Your application is marked as pending review. You can have only one pending application at a time, so wait for a decision before applying again.

Good evidence

• Links to your official website or artist pages on streaming services that name you.
• Links to your official social accounts, ideally ones that mention or link back to your Blindbandit Mobile profile.
• Press coverage, label or distributor pages, or release credits that name you.
• For an organization, its official website and a public page listing who represents it.

What not to send

Do not put passwords, one-time codes, card numbers, government ID numbers or photos of identity documents in the application. If additional proof is genuinely needed, you will be told which secure method to use. Never send identity documents through direct messages, even to an account that claims to be staff.

How applications are reviewed

Applications are reviewed by the operator of Blindbandit Mobile, Kaeleb Savon Heck (Mr. Blindbandit), for Blindbandit Records. The reviewer checks your evidence against public sources and either approves or rejects the application and may add a short note explaining the decision. If it is approved, the verification badge appears on your profile. Reviews are done by a person, so there is no fixed response time.

A rejection is not a penalty. It usually means the evidence was not enough to confirm the account. You can strengthen your public references and apply again once the earlier application has been decided.

Keeping your badge

• Keep your display name and bio accurate. Do not change the account to represent a different person or project.
• Protect your sign-in. Accounts use Clerk; turn on multi-factor protection and never share codes.
• Follow the Community Guidelines. Misleading use of a verified account can lead to the badge being revoked.

Spotting impersonation

If an account uses an artist's name or photo but has no badge, treat it as unofficial. Be especially careful with any account that asks for money, gift cards, sign-in codes or personal documents. Report impersonation from the account's profile, or use the public content reporting form. The Trust & Safety page explains what happens after a report.
