How We Vet Every Applicant — Document by Document

A behind-the-scenes look at the manual vetting process every Alla's Angels member clears before their account is activated: documents, video screening, and the questions we actually ask.

Most introductions platforms approve members in under a minute. We take, on average, four to nine days. That is not an inefficiency — it is the entire product. Below is how the manual first pass actually runs at Alla's Angels, step by step.

Step one — document validation

Every applicant uploads a government-issued photo ID, a recent selfie holding that ID, and a second document specific to their role.

Ladies submit proof of marital status — a current civil registry extract from the country where they hold residence. Gentlemen submit a criminal record certificate (often called a 'good conduct certificate') from every country they have lived in during the previous five years.

We do not accept screenshots, photographs of screens, or documents older than ninety days. Edges, holograms, watermarks and metadata are inspected manually by a screener — not by an OCR pipeline alone.

Step two — the live screening interview

Once documents clear, the applicant is invited to a thirty-minute live video interview with our Burgas screening team. It is the same person on the call you spoke to on the booking confirmation, and the call is recorded for the file.

The questions are intentionally not a script. We are listening for emotional availability, internal consistency, and the difference between someone who wants a partnership and someone who wants attention. We ask about exes, about children, about what a normal Tuesday looks like in five years.

Applicants who cannot or will not appear on video are not approved. There are no exceptions.

Step three — the team review

After the interview, the screener writes a short memo and routes the file to a second reviewer. Approval requires two yeses; one no rejects the application.

If the file is approved, the account activates and the questionnaire opens. If it is rejected, we send a written reason and a refund of any screening fee paid. We turn away roughly one in three applicants — most often because the documents disagree with what we heard on the call.

Why it has to be this slow

Every shortcut you can imagine — auto-approving by ID scan, accepting a stock photo for the selfie, skipping the second reviewer — is also the shortcut a scammer or a married applicant exploits. The point of the manual first pass is that it cannot be automated around. That is the value you are paying for, and the protection the rest of the membership is owed.
