To verify an SCP: Secret Laboratory server, set Contact e-mail on Game settings to a real email address, put a Pastebin page with a staff contact in serverinfo_pastebin_id, restart, then type !verify static (or !verify dynamic) in the Game Panel console and sign the Community Server Guidelines (CSG) agreement from the link it shows. Only verified servers appear in the SCP:SL server browser.

​
Before you start

  • Read Northwood’s latest Community Server Guidelines. Your server must follow them to stay verified.
  • Your server must be set up and running. See getting started.
  • Have an email address you check. Northwood’s Safety and Compliance team uses it to reach you.

How to verify your server

1

Set your contact email

On Game settings, tick Show advanced settings and enter your email in Contact e-mail in Server. Click Review and save and save.

3

Add the paste ID

In Files, open .config/SCP Secret Laboratory/config/<port>/config_gameplay.txt and set:
4

Restart the server

Restart the server and wait until it has loaded.
5

Run the verify command

In Console, type !verify static and press Enter if your server’s IP address is fixed, or !verify dynamic if it changes. If you’re not sure which, open a ticket.

Sign the agreement

Open the agreement link that appears in the console and sign the CSG agreement with the email you want Northwood to contact.
After Northwood approves the server, it shows on the verified list.

Frequently asked questions

​
Do I have to verify my SCP:SL server?

Only if you want it in the public server browser. Without verification, players join with the IP and port using direct connect.

​
How long does SCP:SL verification take?

Northwood reviews servers by hand, so it can take some time. FREAKHOSTING can’t speed it up.

​
Can a whitelisted server be verified?

The server browser has a filter that hides whitelisted servers, so whitelisted servers can be listed. Check the Community Server Guidelines for the current rules.

​
Should I use !verify static or !verify dynamic?

Use static for an IP address that doesn’t change and dynamic for one that does. Your server’s IP is shown in the Game Panel; ask us in a ticket if you’re unsure.
