The application includes two steps:
Third-party verification – You'll confirm your identity and age using a government-issued photo ID.
Fansly verification – You'll upload:
A clear photo of the front and back of your ID
A photo of you holding the ID and a handwritten sign with your legal name, date, and "For Fansly"
A video of you holding both the ID and the sign, with your face fully visible

3️⃣ After You're Approved
Tax Documentation:
You’ll see a prompt on your homepage to complete tax documentation for your region. You can still earn and see income in your Fansly wallet without providing these, but you won’t be able to withdraw funds until your tax forms are submitted.
Earnings:
Creators receive 80% of revenue from subscriptions, sold media, messages, and tips. No hidden fees for payouts, processing, or currency conversion.
Your Earnings Wallet is where you’ll manage everything related to payouts. This includes balances, payout requests, and transaction history.
Funds Availability and Payouts:
Funds are eligible for payout after a seven-day hold. Your Earnings Wallet will show your pending balance and your available balance separately.
Supported payout methods vary by region. The payout method determines the minimum payout request amount and the timeframes for payouts.
📚 For more information, visit this article.
Deposits typically appear under SELECT MEDIA LLC, though this may vary by region or method.
Adding a Payout Method:
To add a payout method, visit your Earnings Wallet, click Add Payout Method, and fill in the details.
