Verified Pro Application

What "Verified Pro" badge means-

Verified Pro is a trust badge for legitimate touring professionals and verified industry partners (including manufacturers and pro-audio brands). It exists to reduce misinformation, protect the integrity of our community, and make collaboration, hiring, and education more credible. Verification confirms identity and real-world participation in the live music ecosystem (it is not a skill ranking or endorsement).

Two tracks, one standard: prove you’re real.
