You need to add the ability for a user to verify their email address by clicking a link in an email sent to them.

This usually looks something like this:

Add a migration

class AddVerificationColumnsToUsersTable extends Migration {

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table)
        {
            $table->boolean('confirmed')->default(0);
            $table->string('confirmation_code')->nullable();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table)
        {
            $table->dropColumn('confirmed');
            $table->dropColumn('confirmation_code');
        });
    }
}

Inside your signup logic you will need to set the confirmation code:

This is an example and will have to be modified depending on your signup implementation:

public function store()
{
    // Logic that gets input and creates $user goes here
    $user->confirmation_code = str_random(30);
    $user->save();

    Mail::send('emails.verification', ['user' => $user], function($message) use ($user)
    {
        $message->from('[email protected]', 'Yoursite');
        $message->to($user->email);
    });
}

You will need to create an email template:

// resources/views/emails/verification.blade.php

Hi {{ $user->name }},

Please click the following link to verify your account:
<a href="{{ route('users.verify') }}">{{ route('users.verify') }}</a>

And finally, you'll need the verification route:

// routes.php

Route::get('users/verify/{confirmation_code}', [
    'as' => 'users.verify',
    'uses' => function ($confirmation_code) {
        $user = User::where('confirmation_code', $confirmation_code)->first();
        $user->confirmed = true;
        $user->save();
    }
]

That's just possible with A confirmation email send to the known email address. When do you need to check this - registration, newsletter or what? If you want to use the confirmation then you need to add a New column in your database that holds the assigned random token and A view/controller/route to check this token (confirm/1234567890) and then search for a user with this token and set a flag that this user is confirmed.
