ID verification, also known as "identity verification," is a procedure used to validate the information provided against a reliable source in order to confirm the identity of an individual. According to Airbnb, ID verification can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. The duration is determined by several factors, including the type of identification you provide, the completeness of your application, and Airbnb's current workload.
Here are some factors to consider during the verification process:
• The type of identification you provide: Airbnb accepts a variety of forms of identification, but documents with photos, such as passports or driver's licenses, are processed faster than documents without photos, such as utility bills.
• Your application's completeness: Make sure you include all of the required information in your application, such as your full name, date of birth, and address.
• The number of verification requests handled by Airbnb: During peak periods, such as holidays or weekends, the verification process may be delayed.
• If you have any questions about the ID verification process, contact Airbnb support.
