At Musixmatch, our commitment to quality and authenticity drives every aspect of our operations. This commitment extends to guaranteeing that only the rightful owners have control over their artistic creations.

The identification process aims to improve trust and safety across all Musixmatch environments and additional protections for all the artists that want to manage their lyrics.

⚠️ Artist Verification and Identity Verification are two separate steps, both of which must be completed to distribute your lyrics to streaming platforms.

Step 1: Access to the Identity Verification page

You can access the Identity Verification page via this link.

Or, you can access it when prompted. You should see a message like the one below when you try to edit the lyrics of a song on Musixmatch Pro:

Step 2: Choose an option to verify your artist on Musixmatch Pro

1. Fast track verification with a Musixmatch Pro Subscription

Purchasing a Musixmatch Pro Plan is the fastest way to get your artist verified and get all the support you wish along the process.

Hit "Subscribe" and your artist profile will be verified within 1 workday.

2. Stay on a free plan and provide a valid government issued photo ID

Free users that want to claim their artist profile, will need to verify their Identity first.

This process involves careful human review, which means the time it takes can vary depending on the type of user and the complexity of the verification needed.

Musixmatch partners with Stripe for secure identity verification.

Data will be stored and may be used according to the Stripe Privacy Policy and the Musixmatch S.p.A. Privacy Policy. Learn more.

Once you click on "Verify with your ID", you will be redirected to their website where you will need to choose the option you prefer between taking a picture of the ID with your phone, with a webcam or upload a file.

Once the verification process on Stripe is completed, you will be redirected to Musixmatch Pro and if the verification was successful you will see a message saying "Your identity has been confirmed".
