Personal identity certification

Builds trust in marketplaces, employment and safe dating.

Proof that a person is exactly who they claim to be.

Scan your ID once. Stripe checks the document and matches it to a live selfie in seconds. You receive a badge code that anyone can verify — without ever seeing your paperwork.

Your ID verification lasts an entire year — for a mere $49/year.

Identity certification

Personal identity

Government ID front and back, plus a live selfie. Stripe verifies the document is genuine, matches the face to it, and confirms the name and date of birth. Your photos go straight to Stripe — we never store them.

How verification works

Submit

Enter your name and date of birth, then scan the front and back of an official photo ID.

Stripe identity check

Stripe reads the security features on your document, matches it to a live selfie, and confirms you are really present — the same technology banks and marketplaces use.

Badge issued

You get a badge code and a shareable page. Anyone can confirm it without seeing your documents.

Records kept for 90 days

Uploaded documents and photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 90 days after a decision. The badge record itself stays, so verification keeps working long after the paperwork is gone.

Share proof anywhere

Every approved badge gets its own page and a downloadable badge you can place on a listing, profile, or email signature. Anyone who clicks it sees the current status.
