Tinder has plans to bring its voluntary ID verification to more users in the coming. It was first launched in Japan in 2019.
"ID Verification is complex and nuanced, which is why we are taking a test-and-learn approach to the rollout. We know one of the most valuable things Tinder can do to make members feel safe is to give them more confidence that their matches are authentic and more control over who they interact with," Tinder's Head of Trust and Safety Product Rory Kozoll shared in a press release.
"And we hope all our members worldwide will see the benefits of interacting with people who have gone through our ID verification process. We look forward to a day when as many people as possible are verified on Tinder."
The company says it plans to take experts' recommendations and its community's feedback into consideration. It will consider what documents are "most appropriate" in each country and abides by local laws and regulations. The feature will be voluntary, "except where mandated by law."
