Discord Verification Email Not Arriving? How to Fix It

Introduction

Not getting your Discord verification email? The fix is to click the “Resend Verification Email” banner in your User Settings > My Account section. If that fails, the #1 reason is that your email provider sent it to your spam or promotions folder.

This guide will walk you through every step to get your account verified.

1. How to Resend the Verification Email

If you can’t find the email, the first step is to have Discord send a new one. This will invalidate all previous links.

🖥️ On PC (Desktop App or Browser)

1. Open your User Settings by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) next to your username in the bottom-left corner.
2. At the top of the “My Account” tab, you should see a yellow or red banner that says, “Resend Verification Email.”
3. Click that banner.
4. Check your inbox for the newest email from Discord.

📱 On Smartphone (iOS/Android)

1. Tap your avatar (profile icon) in the bottom-right corner to open the main menu.
2. Tap “Account” (usually the first option).
3. A “Verify” banner will be at the top of the screen. Tap it to resend the email.
4. Follow the instructions in the email to complete verification.

2. Troubleshooting: Still Not Arriving?

If you’ve resent the email and it’s still missing after a few minutes, work through these steps.

• Check Your Spam & All Mail Folders This is the most common problem. The email from Discord (often from noreply@discord.com) can be accidentally filtered. Check your “Spam,” “Junk,” “Promotions,” “Social,” or “All Mail” folders.
• Whitelist Discord’s Official Emails To prevent filtering, add Discord’s main email addresses to your contacts or “safe senders” list. This tells your email provider (like Gmail or Outlook) to always trust them.
  • support@discord.com
  • notifications@discord.com
  • noreply@discord.com
• Try the “Mobile Data Trick” Sometimes, an IP address from a specific Wi-Fi network (like a school or public Wi-Fi) can be temporarily blocked by mail servers.Expert Tip: Disconnect from your Wi-Fi on your phone so you are only using your mobile data (4G/5G). Then, try resending the email from the smartphone app again. This often bypasses the block.
• Check for Typos Go back to User Settings > My Account. Double-check that your email address is spelled 100% correctly. It’s easy to mistype gamil.com instead of gmail.com.
• Contact Discord Support If you have tried everything and the email still won’t arrive, it’s time to contact the experts. Go to Discord’s official support website and submit a ticket.

3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Conclusion
