ID checks
A photo ID and a selfie, checked by Stripe. It's on us, and we only keep the result.
What it is
You take a photo of a government ID and a selfie. Stripe compares them and tells us whether it matched. That's the whole check.
What it costs
Nothing. Unido covers it. We pick up what Stripe charges to run the check, so there's no fee to you and no subscription.
What we keep
The result. Not your ID, not the selfie, not your document number. Those go to Stripe and stay there. We store whether you passed and when.
What other people see
A verified badge on your profile. That's it. Nobody sees your ID, your date of birth, or anything off the document.
Why landlords ask for it
Because they're deciding whether to hand a stranger a key to the house they sleep in. A verified badge doesn't tell them everything, but it rules out the most common kind of fake profile. It works the other way too, and you can check whether a landlord is verified before you go see a room.
