ID verification
Why it matters

The most expensive mistake is the renter you never checked

Fraudulent bookings, unlicensed drivers, and identity mismatches are how good vehicles end up unrecovered. Fleetwire moves verification to the moment of booking — before money, keys, or trust are on the line — so a failed check is a cancelled reservation, not a police report.

  • Real identity, not a photo. A live selfie is matched to the ID document, so the person booking is the person driving.
  • License validity checked. Expired or altered documents are flagged automatically.
  • No pickup surprises. You review a verified file before the trip, not a stranger at the curb.
ID Verified
How it works

Verification that runs itself

Turn it on once. Every renter is checked the same way, on every booking, with no manual review from you.

1

Renter books

During checkout, the renter is prompted to verify — photograph their license and take a quick selfie on their phone.

2

Stripe Identity checks

The document is validated and the selfie matched in seconds, using the same verification Stripe runs for financial services.

3

You get a clear status

Verified, pending, or failed shows on the booking. Require a pass before a reservation can confirm.

Built for the way you actually rent

Verification is one part of the trust stack — and it works alongside everything else Fleetwire collects at checkout.

Powered by Stripe Identity

Bank-grade document and biometric verification — no third-party app for your renter to download.

Require it to book

Make verification mandatory so an unverified renter can never reach a confirmed reservation.

On the record

The verification result is stored with the booking alongside the signed agreement and deposit hold.

ID verification questions

Who runs the verification?

Fleetwire uses Stripe Identity — the same identity verification Stripe provides to banks and financial platforms. Fleetwire never stores raw ID images on its own servers; the verification is processed and secured by Stripe.

What does the renter have to do?

Nothing extra to install. During checkout they photograph the front and back of their license and take a short selfie on their phone. Most renters finish in under a minute and get an instant result.

Can I require verification on every booking?

Yes. You can make identity verification mandatory so a reservation cannot confirm until the renter passes — or leave it optional for trusted repeat guests. It's your call per your risk tolerance.

Does it work with international renters?

Stripe Identity supports government-issued IDs from a wide range of countries. For markets or document types it can't verify, the booking is flagged so you can follow up manually before pickup.

Verify every renter — starting with your next booking

ID verification is included on every Fleetwire plan. Turn it on, and no stranger reaches your keys unchecked.
