> matching it to offline ID documentation, such as confirming personal information or scanning a photo ID. The name provided by both channels must match for verification to succeed.

Sorry, but there is no way i'm going to scan my passport, id or driver license and send them. Why ? Because they are my life... In some countries, like my motherland Turkey , if someone , somehow has them they can get loans from bank in my name, get credit card or worse set up a firm. I have no reason to "trust" airbnb and their partners in this case.

What could be a better solution ? Well i could accept facebook validation + verification code via $1 credit card charge ( like paypal does ).
