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.
When you try to edit the lyrics of a song on Musixmatch Pro, you may see this message:
The two options 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.
