If you’ve just started VRChat, you may have noticed a little badge next to people’s names that says things like “User,” “Known User,” or even “Trusted.”
That’s called the Trust Rank, and it’s VRChat’s way of showing how active, social, and reliable someone is in the community.
Maybe you’ve already run into this situation:
👉 Your friend can’t see your avatar.
👉 Someone asks, “Oh, are you still a New User?”
If that sounds familiar, don’t worry! In this article, we’ll break down what Trust Rank is, how it works, and what you can do to level up.
⚠️ Important Note: VRChat does not publish the exact requirements (hours, number of friends, etc.) for each rank. What you’ll see here are community-based guidelines and player experiences that serve as a rough estimate.

What is Trust Rank in VRChat?
Trust Rank is part of VRChat’s Trust & Safety system. It measures how much you’ve participated in VRChat and how the community interacts with you. The more you play, make friends, and contribute, the higher your rank becomes.
The main ranks are:
1.Visitor – Brand new account, very limited.
2.New User – A few hours of play; you can now upload avatars.
3.User – More time spent and a few friends; considered active.
4.Known User – Regular player, more friends, consistent activity.
5.Trusted User – The top rank, earned through long-term, positive participation.
Your Trust Rank is visible in your profile and to others, so it’s a kind of “reputation badge” in VRChat.
What Helps You Rank Up?
According to VRChat’s official docs and community guides, the system looks at several factors:
・Playtime – How long you’ve spent in VRChat overall.
・Friends – Building social connections is a big plus.
・Content creation – Uploading avatars or worlds (available from New User and up).
・Positive behavior – Avoid being blocked, muted, or reported.
🚫 Negative actions like harassment, trolling, or being frequently reported can slow down or even reverse your progress.
Rough Timeline: How Long Does It Take?
Again, these numbers are not official—just estimates shared by many players:
・Visitor → New User: A few hours to a couple of days.
・New User → User: Several days to a couple of weeks.
・User → Known User: Dozens of hours of play, plus a few dozen friends.
・Known User → Trusted User: Hundreds of hours of play and around 100+ friends.
Think of it less like a race and more like a marathon. Trusted User is something you naturally reach if you enjoy VRChat consistently over time.
Tips to Level Up Faster
If you want to reach higher ranks smoothly, here are some simple strategies:
1.Play regularly – Even short daily sessions help build up hours.
2.Join community events – Event worlds are great for making new friends.
3.Don’t be shy with friend requests – If you vibe with someone, add them!
4.Upload your own avatar – This counts toward your activity once you’re a New User.
5.Respect others – Good manners mean fewer blocks/reports, and a better reputation.
