To meet the growing demand for high-quality services from skilled freelancers, we've created specific Gig categories featuring hand-vetted freelancers approved by the Fiverr team.
Eligibility
Eligible sellers will be able to create Gigs in these specific categories once they’ve been approved by the Fiverr team’s evaluation process.
Note: If your Gigs have not yet been approved, you can apply here.
How it works
Sellers who have not been evaluated and approved will not be able to create new Gigs in the categories designated for vetted sellers. When creating a new Gig, the relevant services will be grayed out and disabled on the Create a Gig page.
To become a vetted and approved seller, you undergo an evaluation process performed by the Fiverr team. Our team will review and evaluate your qualifications, past work experience, and performance on the Fiverr platform. When you’re approved or denied, you’ll receive a message about your status.
If your application is approved, your Gig(s) will remain active and you will be able to create new Gigs. However, if your application is denied, we will remove any existing Gigs in these categories.
Upon application approval, the relevant service will be activated. If you already have an existing Gig in the relevant category, we will automatically review your Gig and update you if any action should be taken. If your application is not approved, your existing Gigs will be active for 60 days and then might be removed. To create Gigs in these categories again, you will need to reapply and be approved.
Note: The review process is continuous, and your eligibility status might change at any time. The evaluation process differs from one service to another (based on the required skill, diploma, experience, education, etc.).

FAQs
Before the approval process
-
How long does the evaluation process take?
The evaluation process may take up to 4 weeks.
-
What if I’m a new seller?
Sellers who haven’t been approved won’t be able to create new Gigs in the relevant areas reserved for eligible sellers. To offer services in these areas, you can apply for approval to create Gigs in the relevant category.
-
What will happen to my Gigs while I’m waiting for approval?
Your Gig will remain active during the evaluation process. If you didn’t apply or had your application declined, your Gig may be removed 60 days after the first notification.
-
Will being vetted give my Gigs more visibility or special perks?
Your visibility won’t be directly affected. However, since only approved sellers will be able to offer their services in the Marketplace, having vetted-only categories will help you increase credibility and potentially your sales, as well.
-
Is there a badge for vetted sellers? Will buyers know I'm a vetted seller?
There isn’t a specific Profile Badge for being vetted and approved. Since all relevant categories are enabled for approved sellers only, buyers will already know that you’re qualified for the relevant subcategory/service.
After the approval process
-
If I get approved once, will I be allowed to open Gigs for multiple services/subcategories, or do I need to apply for every vetted-only service?
Each service has a different evaluation process. You’ll need to apply for each vetted-only service and/or subcategory—even if you were already approved for a separate service.
-
If I’ve been rejected, can I reapply to be vetted and approved?
Yes, you can re-apply 6 months after you’ve received your rejection notice.
-
Can I lose my eligibility to create Gigs in these areas even if I’m approved?
Yes. Since the Fiverr team will continue to evaluate your performance, your eligibility status might change.
-
What happens if I lose my eligibility? Can I reapply?
If you lose your vetted seller status, then your active Gigs and eligibility for the relevant services will be removed immediately. You can reapply after 6 months.
