Real-time identity verification

Verify your identity

To help keep your account safe, we’ve launched real-time identity verification. To see this new feature, make sure to have the latest version of the Spark Driver™ app.

You will be asked to take a real-time photo of yourself and your driver’s license to help verify your identity. 

We may then periodically ask you to take a real-time photo of yourself to ensure your safety and that no one else is using your account. 

We’re committed to keeping you and your account safe from unauthorized users. This additional layer of security is to ensure only you have access to your account. Check out the FAQ section below for more helpful information.
