Selfie Screen

Learn about the 'Selfie' screen in the Guest Portal:

The Selfie Screen is designed to enhance the identity verification process by requiring guests to upload a selfie along with their government-issued ID. This biometric verification helps confirm that the ID belongs to the guest making the booking, thereby preventing identity fraud and providing proof of stay in case of credit card or payment disputes.

While the screen is optional, we recommend asking for a selfie if the guest is flagged as an orange or red risk.
