This post summarizes how to implement email verification using Laravel Jetstream (Fortify).

Prerequisites

Laravel 11
Jetstream is already installed

Official Laravel Jetstream (English)

Conclusion

config/fortify.php

Around line 149, there is a line of code commented out, so you need to uncomment it:

Features::emailVerification(),

App/Models/User.php

Around line 5, there is a line of code that is also commented out, so uncomment it as well:

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;

Then, at around line 14, implement the MustVerifyEmail interface:

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail

That's it.

When you register a user on the registration page at localhost/register, an email like the following will be sent:

When Emails Are Not Sent

If you do not configure the email sending settings, emails will not be sent.

In a production environment, it's common for small-scale development to contract a mail server to send emails.

For example, there are email services like AWS SES and SendGrid.

Since this is a development environment, it's easy to test using Mailtrap. Please read the following article for details:

Possible Errors

Route [verification.verify] not defined.

This indicates that the settings in config/fortify.php are not being reflected.

Please try running the following command to apply the settings:

php artisan config:clear

Conclusion

I summarized email verification for Fortify for those who have installed Jetstream.

I have tried to write it in a way that is as easy to understand as possible for beginners.

I hope you find it helpful.
