How does artist verification work on Unchained Music?

Last updated on
May 6, 2025

Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is now a required step for all users before distributing music on Unchained Music.


As soon as you sign up and subscribe, you’ll receive an email with a secure link to verify your identity through our partner, Veriff. This verification must be completed before your first release can be submitted or processed.

The process includes submitting valid government-issued identification and, in some cases, providing links to your artist or label presence on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Bandcamp, or others that reflect genuine artistic activity.

Our Quality Control team reviews this information to confirm your identity and verify that you are legitimately connected to the music you intend to distribute. This step is critical to preventing fraud, protecting our relationships with DSPs, and maintaining a high-quality platform.

You can review the requirements and standards for music in our Content Policy.
