Account verification works totally differently on the Fediverse. The most popular method is to link to your own website from your profile and then use Mastodon's verification system to prove you own the site. Once the link is verified it turns green to prove you're the owner.

There are complete instructions for verifying your account at:

If it doesn't work, there are also lots of troubleshooting tips in the same guide, below the instructions.

@FediTips does one need to have a hosted domain or just owning the domain name is sufficient ?

The verification system checks on your website to see if it has linked back to your account.

If there's no website, there is nothing for the verification system to check.

So, you need a website, or you need some organisation you belong to to have a website.
