FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

These are some of the most common questions we usually receive from our users with ready made answers.

How can I get a tick that I'm a real person? Authentication.

This tick confirms that you are authenticated. Authentication is the process whereby NomadMania ascertains that a member with a profile is real i.e. he exists and the data that he has registered with are accurate.

 

How to become authenticated:

Two already authenticated members of NomadMania confirm that they know another traveller; this is done by visiting a traveller’s profile and clicking the relevant button.

How do I earn badges on my profile?

The first ‘tick’ is the Authentication badge, meaning that you are a real person. If this is beside a profile, it implies this traveller has been authenticated. Read the tab above for more information.

UN/NM are verifications of travel records which stand for confirmed visits of UN Countries and NomadMania Regions which implies this traveller has been verified. This is a compulsory procedure for anyone claiming to visit every country in the world. See Verification.

You can also initiate the Verification by ordering one of our Certificates. See Certification.

Other badges indicate numerous travel achievements. See triumphs of other nomads. By using the website and filling in more rubrics such as Series, Milestones etc. and updating the profile regularly, these are obtained automatically.

What is a difference: Authentication vs Verification?

In our effort to establish ourselves as the most credible and reliable travel site online, we check our users in regard to the validity of provided travel information on their accounts.

Authentication is the process whereby NomadMania ascertains that a member with a profile is real i.e. he exists and the data that he has registered with – name etc. – are accurate.

Verification is our way of ensuring that travellers’ claims of their regions and countries visited are true. 

Both have to be confirmed by our team. Read Authentication and Verification for more details. 

What is a difference: Verification for UN Countries vs NM Regions?

We ask for the UN countries verification from anyone who claims 193 countries and from anyone who is among the top 100 travellers on the NM website.

We usually start to ask for a Regional Verification, if a traveller has more than 600 NomadMania regions, or on his/her own initiative if they have slightly less. 

Both have their own procedures. See Verification.
