Fiverr phone verification: what to know
In short
- Fiverr links each phone number to one Fiverr account, even if that account is disabled.
- Start verification on a computer: Fiverr says it can’t be completed on a mobile device.
- Attempts are limited, and only one phone number can be verified every 24 hours.
Fiverr asks for a verified phone number to secure your account, and may ask you to verify it again later.
How to verify
On a computer, go to your profile picture, then Account settings, then Account security. Under Phone verification, click Verify Now, enter your number, and type in the code Fiverr texts you.
Fiverr’s rules
- Each phone number can be linked to only one Fiverr account, including disabled accounts.
- The number must be working, valid and reliable.
- Attempts are limited, by text and by call, and only one phone number can be verified every 24 hours.
- New freelancers can’t start Fiverr’s seller verification until they publish their first Gig.
“Number already in use”
It usually means you already have a Fiverr account. Fiverr suggests logging in to that account and closing it before using the number again, or contacting Customer Support if you can’t get in.
Use your own number here
A Fiverr account holds your work and earnings, and Fiverr may ask you to verify the phone again. A one-time number from ReserveSMS receives codes for 20 minutes only, so for Fiverr use a mobile number you keep. If you can’t reach your registered phone, contact Fiverr Customer Support.
