To give an operator authority to accept mail on a renter's behalf, the mailbox's owner, managers, and recipients must verify their identity by uploading two IDs.
Who has to upload IDs in PilotoMail?
Every user, except pickup staff, must upload their IDs to verify their identity using our automated system powered by Stripe.
If the renter owns a mailbox or multiple mailboxes, they will have to upload their IDs once and sign and confirm a CMRA per each mailbox they own.
📌 Note: When a recipient is added to a mailbox and accepts the invitation, the mailbox moves from compliant to pending. They will have to verify and confirm the changes in the CMRA for the mailbox to be compliant.
Why do we trust Stripe?
Stripe uses best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.
Before starting, here is what a user will need.
A device with a camera. If possible, use a mobile device.
A valid government-issued photo ID document. Not a photocopy or a picture of an ID document. Ensure that the ID document is not expired.
Accepted IDs:
Valid driver's license or state non-driver's identification card
Armed forces, government, university, or recognized corporate identification card
Passport, alien registration card, or certificate of naturalization
Current lease, mortgage, or Deed of Trust
Voter or vehicle registration card
Home or vehicle insurance policy.
📌 Note: Social Security cards, credit cards, and birth certificates are unacceptable as identification.
🪄 Tips:
Make sure that the images are not too dark or bright and don't have a glare.
To avoid blurry photos, hold steady and allow your camera to focus.
Do not block any part of your ID document in the image. Ideally, lay it flat to take the photo.
Do not block any part of your face.
Remove sunglasses, masks, and other accessories.
Cameras on mobile devices typically take higher-quality photos than a webcam.
