Does Airbnb check ID?

We require listing Hosts, new Co-Hosts, and booking guests to be verified. When you book a stay or when you become a Host, we may need to verify your personal information, such as your legal name, address, phone number, and other contact details. We may also ask for a photo of your government ID and a selfie.

If you're a guest booking an Experience, you may need to complete identity verification if your Host requires it. This step occurs during checkout and usually takes under a minute to upload your details.

If you're wondering why your host is asking for your passport details, it's important to know this isn't just a random request. The host is primarily looking out for their property and, of course, their guests too. By checking your passport, they can confirm your identity, age, and nationality.

Guests provide their ID for verification to build trust within the Airbnb community. This tells you if they are over 18 years of age and are willing to provide a legal ID or their name and address.
