Verified badges

The badge signals that Mumbaimart has cross-checked the seller’s identity with official documents like a voter ID, passport, or Aadhaar card. This reduces anonymity, a major concern in secondhand exchanges. When you see the badge, you know the person on the other side is a real local resident—not a fly-by operator or impersonator.

Verification is optional for sellers but strongly encouraged, especially for high-value or sensitive categories like electronics, jewellery, or property-related services. Buyers are more likely to engage with verified profiles, especially when arranging in-person meetings in public places like railway stations or market areas.

Once verified, the badge stays on the profile permanently unless the user requests removal or violations are reported. It does not expire or require renewal. This permanence builds long-term credibility for honest traders across multiple transactions over time.
