Nextdoor Verification Code: Postcard, Phone and Address Checks

Nextdoor checks that you live in a neighbourhood. One way is a postcard with a code mailed to your address; others can include a phone check where available.

Ways Nextdoor may verify you

The options you see depend on your country and address.

Postcard tips

• Check the address is exact, including flat or unit numbers.
• Allow the normal postal time before requesting another card.
• Codes are tied to the address on the request.

Why a virtual number is not enough

Nextdoor wants proof of address, not just a working number. A code sent to any phone does not prove where you live, so use the postcard if the phone option fails.

Moving house

When you move, Nextdoor needs to verify the new address. Update your address in the app and complete verification again; until then you may see your old neighbourhood or have limited access.
