A work email is preferred. We use it to verify who you are and to send you account updates.
Step 2: Website
Add your professional website. We look at it to confirm that you are a real expert with real experience in your field. It also keeps automated sign ups and bad actors off the platform, which protects every expert on Experly.
Step 4: Credentials
List any licenses, certifications or credentials you hold, one per line. This step is optional, but recognized credentials help our team confirm your expertise.

Tip
Only upload material you own or are licensed to use. Content that infringes someone else's copyright can get an account removed.
What happens next
We review every application within 48 hours. We look at your details, your website and your public profiles, then email you with the outcome.
If you are approved, the email includes a link to your expert dashboard, where you complete a short setup and upload your content. If we need more information, the email tells you exactly what is missing so you can send it and get approved.
