Verification & Background Checks

Verification builds trust across the Unaffiliate community. All users must complete ID verification, and additional checks may apply to hosts and freelancers.

Requirements by Role

• Guests → Must complete government ID verification before booking.
• Hosts → Must upload government ID + Certificate of Insurance (COI). Elite hosts may undergo background checks.
• Freelancers → ID verification required. Licenses may be required for regulated services (medical, legal, catering, etc.).

Pro Tip
Complete verification early — verified profiles rank higher in search and build guest trust.

Troubleshooting Suggestions

• Verification denied? Double-check that your ID is unexpired, clearly scanned, and matches your profile name.
• Missing “Verified” badge? Allow up to 24–48 hours for review.
• Background check delays? Check your email for additional information requests.
