Verified Users

Any type of user can become Verified on enCAST if they qualify.

Being verified adds extra advantages to your profile:

• Appear higher in the search results
• Preference when being promoted to CDs for projects
• Able to contact other users directly on the site

• Able to contact actors and other users directly on the site
• Automatically publish a casting after editing

Verification simply means that we have checked your profile and can confirm you are a professional Actor, CD, or Agent and that you are who you say you are.

Then, when your profile is verified, an orange tick is placed on your Calling Card.

Being verified means that visitors and other users of the site know exactly who they are dealing with. In other words, they know they can trust that the profile is genuine and that the user has good experience in the film industry.

IMPORTANT: if you are an actor you do NOT need to be verified to submit to castings. Verification is an extra and does NOT affect your submissions at all.

To become verified and claim the orange tick:

• You must be a Pro Actor (note, this does not include Standard profiles)
• Your profile must be complete (you can Auto Check your profile with this link)
• You must have a good number of acting credits on IMDB as an actor – generally 10 or more named roles (i.e. characters who have names, not “uncredited” or “man” or “angry woman”, etc); these should include at least 3 feature length films or 3 recurring roles in a tv serials (i.e. more than 3 episodes)
• Your showreel must include different scenes from at least 3 professional film/tv productions
• You need to send us your photo ID (please see FAQ below) or you need to have an IMDb Pro profile and write to us from the contact email you have there

To become verified and claim the orange tick:

• Your profile must be complete (you can Auto Check your profile with this link)
• You need to include a link to your company website, or production website for your films
• Your email address needs to be a company domain (i.e. not an anonymous gmail/hotmail, etc)
• You need to have an IMDb Pro profile and write to us from the contact email you have there
• If none of the above applies, you can send us your photo ID (please see FAQ below) 

If you would like to become verified please make sure you fulfil all the criteria mentioned above and Auto Check your profile to make sure there are no omissions.

Then contact us and we’ll start the process. It usually takes a few days to complete this.

You will need to send us a copy of your photo ID to verify your name & image so we know we’re dealing with the owner of the profile. This ID can be a driving licence, national ID card, or passport or similar.

We will only need to see your name, your picture and your country on the id. If you are concerned about your privacy here, feel free to block out your street address (not the country though), your date of birth, and the id number and any other personal information.

The reason we ask for a minimum number of IMDB credits is simple; Casting Directors want to know that you have worked on reasonable sized productions and have experience on set.

If you do not yet have enough IMDB credits, you should chase up previous productions and see if they are on IMDB already and then add yourself to them. You can also think about adding productions as well.
