Using this add-on, you can edit any user from ACP, and simply using a checkbox mark the user as Verified.

You can also let users ask for a verification badge and manage their requests.

Verified users will have a badge next to their username (left OR right, based on your choice in the add-on's options) all around the site (even in 3rd party add-ons' pages)

Request Verification Badge System

• Users will see an option to ask for verification badge, in their profile
• Each user can ask for verification badge x times (user group permission)
• Users can write a comment and attach files while requesting verification badge
• Moderators can reject, accept, or close the requests (approving a request will automatically close all other requests by that user if the user had permission to submit more than 1 request)
• The accepted request will mark the user as verified and the user will get verification badge automatically
• Rejected requests will lose their verification badge (in the case when another moderator manually granted them the badge while you were checking their request)
• Usergroup permissions are added to fully control this feature (permission to request, number of requests, attach files to request, edit request, and manage requests)
• Ability to control the number of times each user can request the badge
• 2 User Criteria (User requested at least x times, user-requested no more than x times)
• User alerts for request status change
• User's account info/details in request page ("Verification Badge Requests Count" will also show user's all requests)
