How to Create & Verify Your Airbnb Account the Right Way

Getting verified on Airbnb boosts guest trust and unlocks more bookings — when you do it legally. This guide walks hosts and guests through every official step: creating an Airbnb profile with accurate personal details, uploading government ID (passport, driver’s license) correctly, confirming email and phone, and completing identity checks via Airbnb’s verification flow. You’ll learn photo and document best practices that reduce rejection rates, how to connect a verified payment method and bank account for payouts, and what to do if verification stalls (support channels, evidence to supply). We also cover helpful profile optimizations — a professional photo, thoughtful bio, and verified social proofs — that improve conversion. For hosts, we explain adding business details, registering as a host where required by law, and enabling two-factor authentication to protect your account. This post emphasizes compliance, transparency, and safety while showing how following Airbnb’s official procedures increases booking rates, reduces friction during guest check-in, and protects both parties. Use this actionable, step-by-step article to get legally verified and start hosting confidently.
