Claude ID Checks: Anthropic May Ask For Your Passport In 2026 - Memeburn
Summary
Anthropic is rolling out identity verification for some Claude use cases, and users may need to provide a government-issued photo ID and a live selfie. The company says it uses Persona for verification and will not use the ID data to train Claude. It also runs a separate age assurance flow with Yoti for under-18 concerns. The change raises privacy and compliance questions, especially for South African users under POPIA. This shift could also affect trust and adoption for Claude in business environments that handle sensitive data.
