Validate your NZDating account

NZDating is dedicated to creating a safe and friendly environment for its members, however we do face challenges from overseas scammers and bots trying to take advantage of members. Unlike other services plagued by fake profiles and bots, we actively address this issue.

With overseas scammers gaining access to NZ-based computers and IP addresses, we're constantly improving our methods of protection and trust-building for members.

As a solution, NZDating has introduced SMS verification, allowing members to display their trustworthiness by confirming their local status through their NZ mobile phone number.

As a Standard Member, successfully verifying your phone will also immediately upgrade your account to Silver Membership, allowing you to upload more photos, appear before standard members in search and many other extra advantages.

Although the vast majority of scammers are from overseas, local members can also be held accountable. As a Kiwi-owned company, NZDating assures its users that their phone numbers will only be used for security purposes and not for any other reasons. Additionally, being based in New Zealand, the company adheres to the NZ Privacy Act, which provides extra protection for its users.
