What Can Affect Your Verification Badge

Your verification badge may be removed automatically in certain situations:
  • Editing your name - If you update your display name with special characters, emojis, or with any name that doesn't match your Aadhar, your verification will be removed. Before saving a name change, Arattai will show a caution prompt explaining this. You can choose to continue and re-verify, or cancel to keep your badge.
  • Verification expiry - Verification automatically expires after 2 years. Re-verifying will restore your badge.
     

Recently Removed or Expired Verification  

If your verification was removed or expired in the last 30 days, other users viewing your profile may see a hint indicating that your account was recently verified but is no longer active. This hint disappears after 30 days.
