Guest Verification — ID, Selfie & Safety
Verify guest identity with government ID upload, selfie matching, and house rules acknowledgment. Configure which steps each property requires.
Verification Steps
Each step is independently configurable per property:
- Personal Information — Full name, phone, email, address
- Government ID — Passport, driver's license, or national ID upload
- Selfie Matching — Live selfie compared against the uploaded ID
- Additional Guests — Primary guest registers all other guests
- House Rules — Read and acknowledge property rules with signature
Configuring Verification
- Open your listing in the CMS
- Go to the Guest Portal tab
- Under Verification, toggle each step on or off
- Save
Full verification for high-value properties. Personal info + house rules for budget listings.
How Guests Complete It
Guests receive a portal link after booking. They complete each step on phone or computer. Progress is saved — they can leave and come back.
Returning Guests
Guests who previously completed verification skip steps they've already done. Returning guests go straight to house rules acknowledgment.
What You See
Verification status and timestamps show in the reservation timeline. View uploaded IDs from the reservation detail panel.
