Outdoorsy is the largest and safest community-driven RV marketplace for renting RVs. In order to maintain our Hosts' and Guests' safety across the platform, we need to perform identity verification before allowing Hosts to list a vehicle for rent on Outdoorsy.
How to verify my ID
During the last step of the List your RV flow, Hosts who are new to our platform are required to link their bank account, submit their tax information, and verify their identity (via Persona) before they are allowed to proceed forward to publishing the listing (as seen in fig 1 below). Existing Hosts adding a new listing will be required to complete the third part, ID verification in Persona, in order to publish the new listing.
- Click on Verify my ID
- Follow the Persona ID verification steps. Persona provides a secure platform that collects, verifies, and analyzes the identity of an individual. You will be prompted to input the country and then state or territory where your ID was issued.
- You will then be prompted to upload/take photos. The photos consist of the front of your ID (Driver's License, Passport, or State ID -only in the US), along with a live photo of your face.
The live face photo requires a smartphone, as you will need to follow directions on screen to turn your head to the right, left, and then back forward, in order for the system to photograph all three required angles seamlessly. (It is important to note that your photos must not be blurry or too dark in order for us to verify them.)
