✨ New Member Welcome Guide

Welcome to A Naturist World (ANW), the global community for genuine naturists. We are so glad you are here. Whether you are a long-time naturist or just beginning your journey, this guide will help you set up your profile, understand our community standards, and start making meaningful connections.

1. Our Vision & Core Principles

A Naturist World (ANW) was created to connect naturist individuals, families, and businesses. We provide a safe space to guide newcomers, help members connect with each other, and share holiday destinations, beaches, clubs, and venues.

Our long-term goal is to help create a world where non-sexual, social nudity is accepted globally and people no longer need to be described as "naturists" because they have the fundamental right to be naked whenever and wherever they choose.

We proudly stand by these core principles:

  • Healthy Living: Naturism encourages body confidence, well-being, and respect for others.
  • Inclusivity: We are open to all who respect these ideas, whether they live in a resort, enjoy the occasional beach trip, or prefer being naked in their own home or garden.
  • Non-Sexual: Naturism is not about sex, pornography, exhibitionism, or voyeurism.
  • Family-Friendly: We believe naturism is brilliant for children and their positive development.

📋 1. Filling Out Your Profile Fields

  • Your Profile Photo: Add a friendly profile photo or avatar to personalize your presence on the main feed and directories.

✅ 2. Claiming Your Free Blue Verification Tick

We take safety and trust incredibly seriously. To build instant trust across the community, we highly recommend using our Free Verification Service to earn your official Blue Verification Tick. Here is exactly what you need to provide:

What to bring for verification:

  • A Valid Photo ID: A crisp, clear photo or scan of your official ID (Passport, Driving License, or National Residency Card).
  • A Verification Headshot: A clear, current photograph of yourself looking directly at the camera. (Important: This photo should be fully clothed, as it is used strictly by our administration team to match against your ID).

➡️ How to submit: You can securely submit these via our secure Google Form here, or email your documents directly to [email protected].

🔒 Privacy Guarantee: We value your security. All identification documents and headshots submitted for verification are permanently and securely deleted from our systems the absolute second your verification is approved.

🛡️ 3. Reporting & Safety

  • Use Common Sense: Always practice safe digital habits. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, asks inappropriate questions, or displays anti-social behavior, do not engage.
  • Report Instantly: Report them immediately using the "Report" link directly on their profile page, or by emailing our team at [email protected] so we can take swift action.
