🎖️What are seals and how do I get one?

Seals are granted only by Menova centers after an in-person check — they can’t be earned by ordering or given by a restaurant.

VIP: for distinguished guests, by Menova invitation. Verified: for content creators — request it on "My rank" and a Menova center contacts you for a short check. Critic and Menova Ambassador: by Menova nomination.

You choose how your seal shows at each restaurant: shown, discreet (the restaurant knows you’re a distinguished guest without your name) or hidden. Change it in your seal settings, for every restaurant or one at a time.

A seal is valid for a year and renewed by the center. We never photograph or copy IDs.
