Adultwork Verification for US members
Just to note, Adultwork accept an ID card or Passport to verify US members.
The message you will get back for using a driving licence is:
Hello *****************
Thank you for providing your ID. Unfortunately we can no longer accept driving licenses from the USA due to the number of forgeries received and the apparent ease at which fake license templates can be obtained online.
To continue your membership with AdultWork.com we would kindly as that you supply some other form of Federal-issued ID such as a passport.
If you have a passport or ID card, please scan/photograph it and upload here:
We will act promptly once this document has been received.
Thanks and regards
The AdultWork.com Team
Its been mentioned lately they only accept Passports (I thought so also) but they accept all forms of government ID except driving licence.
Hope this helps some US members that thought it was Passport only to verify on AW.

The U.S. only has 2 forms of ID. An ID or license from the department of motor vehicles (they look exactly the same) and then passports. So those are the only IDs possible unless you're in the military or something, but chances are you won't be a cammer if you're in the military.
I mean, there are other things such as student IDs, but that doesn't have a birthdate on it, and its not official. Not everyone is a student anyway. And there are birth certificates but those have no photo to verify with. So ???
So pretty much AW can only take passports? lol
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
I dont know much about the US sorry but these are gov issued cards also
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
I got this email and was not too happy about it. It costs about $140 to get a passport and I am not about to go get one just because AW is only accepting them now. Guess Im not going to be using AW =P lol
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
Passports are just as easy to fake as any other ID. just saying

I doubt anyone in the U.S. has those unless they're an immigrant or work in another country, or work for the government which would mean they prob wouldn't cam lol, or are over 65. With the first, they could just use ID's from their native country and probably have no problems anyway.

Was reading an email recently about "Investing in your future", think we covered this in another thread but the $140 and the hassle of a passport is well worth it.

But I do want to give AW a go, so I will re-send my docs to the link you provided! Thank you PrincessJenny!!
If you dont get a reply this time I can check things on the account for you and see what needs doing.

I have no plans to travel ( can not afford it at the moment anyway) and honestly with my tiny income from Adultwork it is not really seeming worth it to me. It would take awhile to recoup that.
I may just have to let them kick me off unless I have a need for a passport.
this all seems crazy to me when some of us have been on the site for years.

The ones that would meet AW criteria are ones only issued of you have a gov't job or are in the military.
I have a passport so it's not an issue for me, but most people in the US don't have passport because until recently we could travel to Canada, Mexico and the Carribean with our gov't issued ID or DL.
I know that to people outside the US it seems odd, but for me to visit friends in London the flight is about the same length as it is for me to visit friend in Seattle, give or take an hour. So it's big production to travel within the country ID checks Xrays etc, so a lot of people just don't even want to bother with foreign travel anymore. Off topic but just trying to give a bit insight into why US ladies don't have passports, as someone wondered in the other thread why we don't travel.
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
Wait...so if we are already approved and on AW (I have been on there since December of 2010...) we need to upload a passport now too or are we okay? I'm lost :/
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
When they say passport or ID card they mean the passport ID card you can get instead of the passport. Its cheaper then the passport and it can only be used to travel from the US to Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
Its only $55 but it still takes around 4-6 weeks to get.
Heres the link

But don't you have to already have had a passport before in order to get one?
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
We get loads of American tourists and students in the UK...but I guess they're not the ones who will choose to cam!

Watch out with this one. Although they did accept driving licenses before, they don't do now... And they do from time to time ask people to re-verify. I don't know what they would do in your situation.
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
I have been a member of AW since 07 but I don't think I fully registered, as in gave my ID ... Now that I finally took that leap, I got the email stating I needed an ID. I am so broke right now, I don't have the money for a passport. I may just have to forget it. If I was going to lie about my age, I surely wouldn't make myself 44 haha This really sucks!
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
I think it levels the field a bit since UK girls for the most part are sidelined on SM because of having generally lower speed connections. Harsh to those without passports, but like us having to just somehow "get a better connection", you have to now just "get a passport" :)

No, anyone can get the passport card. The thing is if you already have a passport you can apply for the card by mail by sending in your current passport with the application and they'll mail you the new card back along with your old passport.
If you dont have a current passport then you have to apply in person, usually at a post office or government office where you show your ID and they take your photo and process your application and then mail you back your passport card.
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
Havent read all the recent posts here as im going through the PM's and time is limited today but as we are all in business and self employed if getting a passport is too much of an obstacle then maybe its time to admit the business world isnt for you? (not pointed at anyone in particular) its such an easy simple thing to get sorted out is it not?
Being self employed can be quite hard at times, making excuses is easy. If you dont put the effort into getting a passport then expect your business not to repay the effort in cash, same for anyone who doesnt signup on SM because they dont have a printer etc
The excuses are endless in this industry it seems but there is a solution for all of them.
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
^^^ I would point out that AW's 'tightening' of ID requirements is the probable result of both Section 2257 compliance laws and US legal work status laws ... laws which similarly apply to all US based webcam host sites. Thus while AW may be the first US based webcam host site to start a serious 'tightening up' of their ID requirements, they probably won't be the last !!!
From the perspective of a webcam host, being discovered 'publishing' adult material based on phony 'model' ID's in their Section 2257 compliance file could lead to US federal felony sex crime charges against the webcam host, could lead to $100,000+ legal fees to defend against such charges in US federal courts etc. And indeed US driver's licenses are very easy to 'fake' - or even to obtain officially in particular states based on 'bogus' information provided to the state DMV ( fake SS#, fake utility bills, etc ) that will not be officially verified as a result of state policy.
A US Passport, on the other hand, is issued by the US State Dep't. Applicant info WILL be researched and verified before a US Passport is issued.
Re: Adultwork Verification for US members
I also wanted to add if you do decide to go forward and get either the passport card or passport book be aware there is a separate fee for the pictures (I dont remember how much they cost but Im sure they are under 20$) and you still do have to pay for postage.
What basically happens is you go to the post office or local gov office with your DL and birth certificate and application, the clerk will check your ID, take your photo, make sure the application is complete and then put it in an envelope and mail it off to be processed. You pay them then and there for your pictures, you mail the money order or check with your application along with your birth certificate to the processing center. So you wont have your birth certificate for the next 4-6 weeks. If youre going to need it for something else during that time you better have another copy or hold off on applying. You can pay an 15 bucks or so for 'expedited shipping' but all that means is instead of receiving your stuff back in regular first class mail you'll receive it back in next day overnight mail, which could shave a few days off.
