Let’s start with the Verified Badge. When a user sets up their Truecaller profile with their true name, if Truecaller's intelligent technology agrees with the name, the user will be rewarded with a Verified Badge that is shown on their profile when they call, or with reverse number lookup. This alerts other users that the name shown is a real name. This will increase the trust that 'you are who you say you are.' Truecaller is an app to let people know who is trying to get in touch with them; therefore, a real name is important.
The following steps are ways to start the process of getting a name Verified Badge. Truecaller has an intelligent technology to determine the true name, and it is up to Truecaller's technology to trust the name and grant the badge.
There are various ways to become verified:
1. iPhone and Android users create their Truecaller profiles with their true names. For other users who have added fake names to Truecaller in the past, this is their chance to earn a Verified Badge by changing to their real name.
2. For non-smartphone users and non-Android/iPhone, please go to www.truecaller.com and use the ‘Sign In’ option to create your Truecaller profile.
By having your real name on your Truecaller profile, employers, clients, friends, family and new friends are easily able to identify you when you call, reducing the chances of your call being blocked or unanswered.
