Hi Stefano,
Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:
I
am trying to figure out what is the Verification and how Users can self-verify...
Verification is actually an identification (verified badge) as the user is public figures, celebrities, brands and official organization in your social site.
Correct me if I am wrong, do you mean, if user register, you want your user automatically get verified badge (verification) yes?
If yes, you can set it in your profile type by go to
easysocial backend>users>profile type>choose profile type>general tab>enable Set Users as Verified Automatically as shown

unfortunately the online documentation for Users contains an older screenshot that does not encompass Verification:
I have informed to our person in charge regarding olds screenshot and verification documentation. As I already create ticket for this, they will update it
Hope this helps
