How does providing identification on Errand World work?

Verifying some information on Errand World helps make our community a safer place for everyone. That’s why, in addition to requiring a profile photo, confirmed phone number, and confirmed email address, we might also ask you to provide an official ID and other related information.

How it works

When you’re asked to provide ID, you might need to:

  • Add a profile picture if you don’t have one already.
  • Take a photo of your government-issued ID (ex: passport, driver’s license, national ID, or visa).
  • Connect another online profile to your Errand World account, such as a Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn account.
  • Take a selfie. This needs to be a live photo taken during this process.
  • Answer questions about yourself that only you would know the answer to. If you’re asked to take a selfie, your government ID photo and selfie must match, and your ID must appear to be valid. If your photos don’t match, you’re under 18, or your ID doesn’t appear to be valid, your reservation may be cancelled.

    Completing this process isn’t an endorsement of any runner, its a guarantee of someone’s identity, or that interacting with them will be safe. Always use your own best judgement, and follow our safety tips
  • Take a selfie. This needs to be a live photo taken during this process.

When you'll need to provide ID

Errand World may ask you to provide ID for several reasons, including if you plan to book an experience or if a host requires that a guest provides ID before booking their place. If a host requires you to provide ID, only the guest making the booking will be required to provide ID, and you’ll need to complete the process before your booking is confirmed

Privacy

We take privacy seriously. The information you provide during this process is governed by our Privacy Policy and sent to us and our third-party partners using SSL—the same secure encryption that websites use to transmit credit card numbers. Our third-party partners handle this info according to our Privacy Policy.

Updating or removing photos

90 days after you complete your most recent booking, you can remove your government ID photo by visiting your Edit Profile page. If you remove your ID photo, any upcoming reservations will be canceled.

Other ways your ID info is used

Where permitted by applicable law, we may also provide information from your government ID, such as your full name and date of birth, to our service providers to run checks against public records for criminal convictions and sex offender registrations. For now, these checks are limited to users in the United States about whom we have adequate identifying information, such as the user’s full name and date of birth. While we believe these checks help us deter fraud and misuse of our services, they don’t guarantee that interactions with people who book through Errand World will be safe or problem-free.
