ID Verification for X Blue Subscribers

ID Verification for X Blue Subscribers

Yes, you heard that right! Soon, there will be ID verification for X Blue subscribers.

As you can see in the example. below shared by app researcher Nima Owji, X is testing a new element that would enable XBlue subscribers to verify their government-issued ID.

Currently, there is no ID Verification for X Blue Subscribers.

At present, you don’t need to provide any official ID documents to get verified in the app, you just need a phone number and a payment option, and X will accept that you’re a real person.

Now, with ID verification, X would also require a lot of manual checking on X’s behalf, which is partly why it’s chosen to go with paid verification over ID checks. Because with 80% fewer staff, X simply doesn’t have the capacity to manually check through people’s ID documents to confirm that they are who they say, though it could do this with X subscribers, given that less than 0.5% of the app’s users are paying for this service.

Let’s see when this gets rolled out.
