At Airbnb, we’re always working on making our community as secure as possible for everyone. That’s why, before booking a home or experience, or becoming a host, we may ask for a government ID or have you confirm your legal name and add your address.

When you’ll be asked to confirm your identity: This may happen for a couple of reasons. For example, some hosts require their guests to complete identity verification in order to book their place or experience. There are also times when Airbnb will ask you to confirm your identity to help us make sure you’re really you.
