How verification works

Three simple steps.
Total peace of mind.

No accounts to create and no paperwork — just a quick, one-time identity check before your stay. A calm, guided flow designed to feel as effortless as it is secure.

Step 01

Capture your ID

Snap a photo of your passport, ID card, or driver’s licence. Our scanner guides you to a perfect capture in seconds — no app download required.

About 30 seconds
Step 02

Confirm it’s you

A quick, private liveness check matches you to your document. It happens on-device in moments and confirms a real person — not a photo or a forgery.

About 20 seconds
Step 03

You’re verified

Verification completes and your details are encrypted immediately. Your operator simply gets a green light confirming it’s you — with nothing more for you to do before your stay.

Your questions, answered

It’s completely natural to be careful.

Sharing identification should never feel uncertain. Here’s exactly what happens to your information — in plain language.

Operators are often legally required to confirm who is staying at their property, and verification protects you too — it prevents anyone from booking or staying under your name. The Stay Portal handles this verification once, securely, well before you arrive.

Yes. Your document is encrypted the moment it’s captured using the same AES-256 and TLS 1.3 standards banks rely on. It’s stored in isolated, access-controlled vaults — never in plain text, never in an email, and never visible to advertisers or third parties. Our practices are independently audited under Cyber Essentials.

Only the specific operator you’re staying with, and only for the duration of your stay. Not other properties, not advertisers, not our own staff browsing for fun. Every access is logged in an audit trail you can review at any time from your privacy dashboard.

Never. We earn revenue from the operators who use our platform — not from your data. Your identity is used for one purpose only: confirming it’s you. We do not sell, rent, mine, or share it with any third party for any reason.

It’s automatically and permanently deleted after the retention period your stay requires — typically a few days past checkout. You don’t have to do anything. And if you’d like it gone sooner, you can delete it yourself with a single tap, anytime, and we’ll confirm once it’s erased.

Most guests finish in under 90 seconds — the average is 84. There’s no app to download and no account to create. Capture your document, confirm it’s you, and you’re verified.

Security you can trust

Verification, reimagined around your peace of mind.

Millions of travellers verify with confidence through The Stay Portal. No app, no paperwork — just a quick, secure identity check when your operator asks you to verify before your stay.
