If you’ve received an email from Vouchsafe asking you to confirm the identity of someone you know, here as some information that might be useful:
- Vouchsafe helps people who don’t have a passport or driving licence confirm their identity by getting help from someone who does.
- Someone you know needs your help to vouch for their identity to use an important service.
- When they share your details with us, we will get in touch with you by email or text message.
- You will need your passport or driving licence to confirm your identity.
- The process takes about 5 minutes on a mobile device or computer.
- We are only asking you to confirm the identity of the user — it isn’t a character reference.

⚠️ Important: Never vouch for someone unless you’re sure they are who they say there. Contact them by other means to confirm their request is authentic.
