* Get Verified

Verified members are key to CouchSurfing’s success. By getting verified, CouchSurfers contribute to the community in a few ways. The first is quite literal: when you get verified, you make a donation to help keep CouchSurfing running. The second is to our community’s security: by letting CouchSurfing check both your name and physical location, you show other members that you are who you say you are. Finally, the trust that you gain by confirming your identity means that you’ll have an easier time finding hosts and surfers – which means you’re having more of the inspiring experiences that CouchSurfing is all about!

Your contributions help pay for the many costs of running CouchSurfing.org, like server hosting, storage, database maintenance, mapping software, and many other costs.
