Hello to all. I am brand new to this hobby and I am curious about how to get started.  What exactly is involved in getting "verified" and what are the pros and cons of it?

there will be a limited number of providers who will see you.

They will want, at a minimum, all relevant personal information such as address and phone number as well as business and business phone so that they can be sure you work there.

Once you get some references from other providers, that may be good enough for most providers but some will still want that personal information as well.

One option is to try agencies.  Some of them will be satisfied with just a home phone number.

if your serious about this world of hobbying, join a verification site such as DATE-CHECK or Preferred411   that will get your foot in the door to see some beautiful providers that don't make it a practice to see "newbies"  i don't usually see newbies as a practice, but if they DO get verified by one of the above, then my door is always opened
Good Luck,
Jay

Pros: You will make the provider feel at ease and that you are not an ax murderer or LE. She will provide you with a better time, given she is comfortable.

Cons: You may not be able to see providers who are looking for references or reviews, as a part of their verification, if you do not have any. Also, you may feel uncomfortable giving your information to someone you do not know (that is natural).

Something to think about: While you are struggling with the fact that you have not been “verified” or have not received TER approval as a veteran with reviews, yet, there are newbie providers who feel the same way (like me :)  . So, try to be open to providers that do not have 100 reviews. Some of them will be open to you, as well.

We all have to start from ground zero…and I completely understand (really I do). Good luck.

do a search of previous threads on this topic Bro - you will find dozens, as this topic has been beaten to death here - with tons of detailed responses

good luck!
