How to Verify Your Identity
Complete your account set up with this guide!
Wander prioritizes safety over everything else. That's why we require Identity Verification to authenticate the identity of our guests and confirm bookings.
Steps to Verify Identity
On the Trips tab (second icon at the bottom), tap the "Verify Identity" button at the top of the screen then click "Begin verifying."
Provide your country or location.
A government ID is required to confirm identity. A list of acceptable IDs will show up - choose the one that you have readily available for a faster process, then upload it by taking a photo through the app.
Take a selfie following the instructions provided on the app. (You're looking great!)
Allow a few seconds for your submission to be processed. Once validated, a congratulatory message will pop up, and you're all set!
