Trust & Safety
Verification boundaries
Treat identity and trust checks as useful context, not proof of capability or future results.
What identity verification means
Where offered, Stripe Identity can confirm that an account completed an identity check. It is one trust signal among several.
What it does not mean
- It does not prove skill or experience.
- It does not prove fit for an outcome or selected route.
- It does not guarantee delivery quality or future results.
- It does not remove the need to inspect proof and speak with the provider.
Use precise language
Say identity check completed or optional identity trust signal. Do not say verified expert, skill verified, guaranteed provider or automatically ranked higher.
