Rider verification for riders
You can now get a verified rider badge. Verification helps drivers know who you are and helps everyone using Lyft feel safer.
A verification badge is optional. You can still request rides even if you aren’t verified.

Getting verified
You most likely won’t have to do anything to get verified.
We’ll try to verify you using your name and phone number in your profile already.
If the information can’t be validated, we’ll ask you to provide your legal name. We may also ask you to provide a photo ID as well.
If you don’t have a photo ID, you can also provide another form of identification like a utility bill or military ID.
Your privacy
Drivers will only see your:
- First name.
- Rating.
- Verification status.
- Profile picture (if you have one).
Drivers won’t be able to see this info again after 24 hours.
The info used to verify your identity will be protected, stored, and maintained as described in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
