I don't know when the domestic account opened the verification channel. I was busy studying tutorials tonight and decided to give it a try. To be honest, the entire creator ID verification process was surprisingly quick, completed in just five minutes.

Here's a summary of common pitfalls for beginners, hope it helps.

**Preparations Before Applying**

You need to put effort into the language settings — not only should your phone system be set to English, but the language setting within the platform app must also be switched to English. This is the first hurdle. After entering the Premium account, find the Creator Studio menu, then click Verify your identity. Don’t look for it elsewhere.

**Details for Taking ID Photos**

Lighting is crucial. Insufficient lighting or glare can easily cause the system to fail recognition. I used the automatic capture feature built into the system for safety. Don’t randomly press the shutter button; let the camera capture automatically.

**Two issues you might encounter afterward**

After my verification was approved, I encountered a situation where the traffic in the Revenue Sharing Program showed less than 5 million, which did not meet the participation criteria. Another somewhat awkward issue was that the subscription section occasionally displayed a mark indicating the user is under 18. This might require adjusting account information separately to fix.

Overall, the process is quite straightforward, just pay attention to the details.
