What Founding Members get.
A numbered stamp. Founding Member, number 1 to 100, shown on your profile beside your relationship goal, in the order verifications complete. It stays with you for good.
A month of Ember Premium. It starts the moment your ID check clears. It does not renew and never charges you.
How to claim a spot.
Get Ember. On Google Play now; the iPhone app is on its way.
Add four photos. Clear and recent, with your face in good light in at least one.
Verify your ID. A passport, national ID card or driving licence, then a short live selfie. About a minute. If you are in the UK or Ireland and spots remain, your stamp arrives the moment the check clears.
Who it is for.
Anyone living in the UK or Ireland, whatever passport you hold. Where you live is what counts, not your nationality, so a member from Lagos living in Manchester or from Mumbai living in Dublin qualifies.
Why Ember.
Every member on Ember passes a government ID check and a live selfie check before anyone can see their profile, and every conversation translates live in more than 100 languages. It is built for serious relationships, close to home or across the world. Read about ID verification and live translation.
