Stripe Identity

Stripe Identity is a digital identity verification service offered by Stripe that makes it easier for businesses to confirm who their users really are while reducing fraud and onboarding friction. It lets companies check government‑issued IDs and compare them with live selfies, using advanced machine learning to detect fake documents and spoofing attempts, and it supports identity documents from well over a hundred countries. The service helps platforms meet know‑your‑customer and trust‑and‑safety requirements without building complex verification systems themselves, and because it’s part of Stripe’s ecosystem, it integrates smoothly with other services like payments, subscriptions, and payouts so teams don’t have to manage multiple disjointed tools. It provides a pre‑built verification interface that can be customised to fit a brand, mobile and web capture flows that guide users through taking clear photos, and it handles sensitive data with strong privacy and security practices while giving users control over their information.
