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

In the process of account verification, 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
