To help users confirm the authenticity of profiles, Tinder plans to make this feature available in the US and Mexico by summer and in the UK and Brazil by spring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1sud0deeo84nn.cloudfront.net\/RIjr9pCla6j3PVKVe4kqKupd3btIQ440bZXqbHMP.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1sud0deeo84nn.cloudfront.net\/LMxrlZVacipvtcwitOu47dkodEu0vQF0yr8m5lnB.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1sud0deeo84nn.cloudfront.net\/ymBcnPLfmNtoIBOjFNWszNQSUboP6ED1VtAbQzvD.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The enhanced process requires a video selfie and a valid Driver\u2019s Licence or Passport, and will check to see whether the face in the video selfie matches both the photo on the ID as well as the person\u2019s profile photos. It will also check the date of birth on the ID. This can be done on the user\u2019s Profile page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople want to feel safe and confident when connecting and communicating with their matches, and we applaud Tinder for giving users this additional option to help \u00a0confirm their match is the person in their profile,&#8221; said Pamela Zaballa, CEO of NO MORE<\/p>\n<p>Users who only complete Photo Verification will now receive a blue camera icon badge and users who only complete the ID Verification will receive a blue ID icon badge. Users who complete both ID + Photo Verification will receive the blue checkmark.<\/p>\n<p>Last fall, Tinder piloted this feature in Australia and New Zealand and users who completed the ID Verification option saw a \u00a067% increase in matches than those not verified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe ID Verification is an important tool users can adopt to help prove they are the person in their photos as well as help provide some peace of mind when deciding to meet someone off the app,\u201d said Ted Bunch, Chief Development Officer, A Call To Men. \u201cBy giving this option to more users, Tinder is giving users more choice and options in how they connect and ultimately feel safer when exploring new connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT TINDER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2012, Tinder is the world\u2019s most popular app for meeting new people and has been downloaded more than 530 million times. \u00a0The app is available in 190 countries and 45+ languages. \u00a0More than half of all users are 18-25 years old.
