Anthropic has rolled out identity verification for select Claude users as part of its trust, safety, and compliance initiatives. Users may be asked to verify their identity with a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver's license, and in some cases provide a live selfie.
The verification process is managed by Persona, a third-party identity verification provider, while Anthropic states that the data is used solely for identity verification and is not used to train AI models.
The company says the measure helps prevent fraud, enforce usage policies, and meet legal obligations while maintaining user privacy protections.
