How Wakazi verifies workers
Every worker verifies their email before they can take ordinary work. Profiles carry trust you can check at a glance: ratings and written reviews left only by customers who actually completed the work; a reliability score built from real response and completion signals — never self-declared; and an optional Verified ID badge earned through a live-camera ID-and-selfie check reviewed by a human. Work photos come from the worker's own portfolio, and no phone number or exact location is ever shown before you connect.

Common questions
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can for big dates — good event pros fill their calendars through ratings. For last-minute gaps, mark your Request urgent to notify the nearest pros instantly.
Can I see past work first?
Yes — portfolio photos sit right on the worker's card before you connect, uploaded from their real gigs. Pair them with the written reviews and the reliability score for the full picture.
What does it cost to hire an event pro or photographer?
Posting a Request and browsing Service Offers is free. To open chat, calls and live tracking for a job, the customer activates a digital Work Session — a small digital purchase priced by the app store for your country. The service payment itself is between you and the worker; Wakazi never takes a cut of it, and free Core keeps ordinary work access open for everyone.
Do workers see my exact address?
No. Before you connect, both sides only ever see an approximate, grid-rounded area. Your exact location and phone number stay hidden until you and the worker agree to work together — and the same privacy applies to the worker.
How do I know the worker is qualified?
Every worker is email-verified, ratings come only from real completed work, the reliability score reflects actual response and completion history, and for regulated trades verified credentials show the exact scope and recheck date. The optional Verified ID badge means a human reviewed their live-camera ID and selfie.
