Verified organisers on Tikkit have completed identity confirmation. This protects attendees and gives your event credibility that drives more registrations.
A blue tick isn't just cosmetic. It's the signal that separates professional, accountable organisers from anonymous accounts. In Pakistan's event scene — where unverified events and no-show organisers have eroded public trust — that signal matters more than most people realise.
What Verification Means on Tikkit
Tikkit's verification process confirms that:
- The organiser is a real person or real business entity
- Their identity matches the contact details on the account
- They've agreed to Tikkit's organiser code of conduct
Once verified, your profile gets a Verified badge that appears on your organiser page and on every event you publish. It's visible to every potential attendee before they decide to register.
What Gets Verified — Your Options
Tikkit offers two verification paths depending on whether you're an individual organiser or a business:
Individual Organiser:
- CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) front and back
- Selfie for liveness check
- Phone number verification (OTP)
Business / Organisation:
- Business registration document (NTN or company registration)
- Authorised signatory CNIC
- Business email verification
Most solo organisers, freelancers, and event hosts go through the individual path. Agencies and companies use the business path.
Step-by-Step: How to Submit Your Verification
Step 1 — Go to your profile settings From your dashboard, click your profile photo in the top right corner, then select Settings → Verification.
Step 2 — Choose your verification type Select Individual or Business. Read what documents you'll need before uploading.
Step 3 — Upload your documents For CNIC: upload a clear photo of the front and back. Make sure all text is readable. Blurry or cropped images will be rejected and you'll need to resubmit.
Step 4 — Complete the liveness check You'll be asked to take a quick selfie or short video to confirm that the CNIC belongs to the person submitting the request.
Step 5 — Wait for review Tikkit reviews verification requests within 24–48 hours on business days. You'll receive an email when your verification is approved or if any additional information is needed.
What Changes After Verification
Once you're verified, several things change:
- Your profile shows the Verified Organiser badge
- Your events appear higher in search and explore results
- You gain access to paid ticketing — unverified accounts can only run free events
- You can accept payment via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and card
- Attendees see your verification badge before registering — this significantly increases conversion
- You become eligible for Tikkit's featured organiser programme
Unverified accounts are still functional but have limited reach and cannot process payments. Verification unlocks the full platform.
Why Tikkit Requires Verification
Pakistan's event scene has struggled with trust issues — ghost organisers, fake events, and no-refund situations have made potential attendees hesitant. Verification is Tikkit's structural answer to that problem.
When an attendee sees your verified badge, they know:
- Someone with a real identity is behind this event
- If something goes wrong, there's accountability
- The organiser has agreed to a standard of conduct
This benefits you directly. Verified events consistently see higher registration rates than equivalent unverified events. Trust is a conversion driver.

Can I run events while waiting for verification? Yes. You can create and publish free events before verification is complete. Paid ticketing requires an approved verification.
What if my CNIC is expired? An expired CNIC is still accepted for identity purposes. However, updating to a valid CNIC is strongly recommended for compliance purposes.
What if my application is rejected? You'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common rejections: blurry documents, name mismatch, or incomplete submission. You can resubmit after addressing the issue.
Is my CNIC data stored securely? Yes. Identity documents are encrypted at rest and in transit, stored on SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, and never shared with third parties. They are used solely for identity verification purposes.
