Optional: set a selfie backup code

Add a 4–8 digit selfie backup code and share it with your guest before arrival. If their live selfie can't be verified after 3 tries, but their phone, ID, and location checks passed, they can enter it to finish check-in, and their form is clearly marked "selfie override."

This is not a door code. It only unsticks the selfie step inside verification.

SELFIE BACKUP CODE (OPTIONAL)

Share this code with your guest before arrival. Only works after 3 failed selfie attempts with phone, ID & location already passed.

Share the address with your guest

Send your guest the property address, that's what connects them to your check-in form. (Coming soon: a one-tap invite link.)

Your guest chooses when to verify: ahead of arrival or when they reach the property. Nothing to configure on your end.

Choose when to verify

You decide how to verify: complete everything now that you're at the property, or verify ahead of arrival: scan your ID and take your live selfie early, in good lighting, then simply confirm your location and sign when you get there.

Verifying ahead of time avoids the "midnight selfie" problem. No getting stuck at the door in poor lighting.

Scan your ID & take a live selfie

Scan your government-issued ID, then take a quick live selfie to confirm it's really you. If a selfie won't read, you get retry tips, and after 3 tries, your host's contact info (and backup code, if they set one) appears so you're never stuck. If you chose to verify ahead of arrival, you complete this step early, then just confirm your location and sign when you reach the property.

✓ Handled by Persona. WelcomeVerify never stores your ID or selfie. Your host sees a pass/fail result only. Your guest check-in record is auto-deleted within 48 hours.
