Read the second thread in Provider Ads forum. It describes the actions required to request Verified Provider status.
It will tell you the requirements, where to send them, (
dallas@eccie.net not to a moderator) age verification requirements, etc.
Handle change request should be sent to
dallas@eccie.net along with a reason for the change.
Choose your desired handle and check Members list to see if it is available before requesting it.
You may not use a handle that is already in use.
