Identity verification is essential to keep Taskbear safe, transparent, and fraud-free. Verifying your identity builds trust with other members and earns you a Verified Badge, which significantly increases your chances of getting hired.
At Taskbear, we are building a community based on trust. Whether you are letting someone into your home to do a job or performing a task for a stranger, you need to know that the person you are dealing with is who they say they are.
Verification is the foundation of safety on our platform.
Preventing Fraud: It helps us detect and block fake accounts, bots, and scammers before they can harm the community.
Accountability: Real identities mean real accountability. If something goes wrong, we have the necessary information to assist in resolving the dispute.
Safety for Everyone: It ensures that both Posters and Taskers are interacting with genuine people.
When you complete your identity check, you receive a Verified Badge on your profile.
For Taskers: This badge is a powerful signal to Posters. It shows you are professional and trustworthy. Posters are far more likely to hire someone with a Verified Badge than someone without one.
For Posters: It shows Taskers that you are a legitimate customer, encouraging them to quote on your jobs.
To maintain a high standard of service:
ID Check: It is mandatory for all Taskers and Helpers to complete an identity check.
Additional Checks: You can also choose to add extra verifications, such as a Police Check or Working With Children Check, to earn specific badges that qualify you for sensitive jobs.
Yes. We take your privacy seriously.
Secure Partners: We use trusted third-party identity verification services to process your documents securely.
Privacy: Your ID documents (like your passport or driver's licence) are never shown publicly on your profile. Other users only see the "Verified" badge.
