How do I verify my identity and complete a background check?

by TEAM ROOMIMay 3, 2021

Roomi’s mission is to provide a safe and secure platform for you to find roommates. We give every user the option to verify their identity and complete a background check so others know they are speaking to a trusted individual. By completing both of these options, you greatly increase your chances of matching with a potential roommate as a badge will be displayed on your profile once each is completed.

Background checks are non-refundable and expire after three months

We accept a passport, state-issued ID, or driver’s license. NYC City ID cards are not accepted. Your ID must be valid and not expired.

For a complete list of terms, please visit our Background Check Policy here [](https://roomiapp.com/policies/background-checks)[https://roomiapp.com/policies/background-checks](https://roomiapp.com/policies/background-checks)
