free · takes 2 minutes · your ID stays private
Online, anyone can pretend to be anyone.
Anchor proves you're really you.
You verify once. You get one link. Send it to a match, a buyer, a landlord, anyone — and they can see you're a real, verified human and that the accounts you claim are actually yours.
Is this person real? Check an Anchor
No account needed. There is no public directory, only their link, handle or code
You already know the feeling.
Every one of these moments is the same question: is this person real?
Dating
You match, you talk for a week, and you still have no idea if the photos are them.
Buying and selling online
They want the money first. You want the item first. Neither side wants to go first.
Renting a place
A deposit to a stranger for an apartment you have never seen.
Calls, DMs and email
Anyone can copy a name, a photo, even a voice. AI made it a five-minute job.
how it works
Three steps. Then you never do it again.
1. Prove you're a real human, once
Scan your ID and take a quick selfie video. Takes about two minutes. Free.
2. Attach the accounts you actually own
Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, your phone number, your work or school email. Only the ones you choose.
3. Send your link when it matters
One link. They open it and see: real person, verified, these accounts are really theirs.
Same conversation. Two endings.
without anchor
- "Send me a photo holding a spoon" energy
- You reverse-image-search their pictures
- You pay first and hope
- You meet a stranger and tell a friend where you are
- If they disappear, you have nothing but a username
with anchor
- You send one link, they send one back
- Verified human, real name, real accounts
- Both sides have real names and accounts at stake
- If something goes wrong, you have a real lead — not just a username
- You meet knowing their verified name, not just a username
A username is not a person.
If something goes wrong, a username disappears. A verified identity does not.
Report more than a username
Give police, the marketplace or the payment provider a clearer starting point: the identity-checked Anchor behind the transaction.
Accountability changes behavior
People are less likely to do bad things when they are accountable and their real name is on the line.
A live page. Not a screenshot.
A static image can be faked. Your profile is a real, current link anyone can open right now.
One link for every risky moment.
You set it up once and use it wherever trust is missing.
Your ID is your business. We keep it locked away.
Anchor is not a social network and not a public database. We check your ID once, through our identity provider, and Anchor never keeps a copy. Your privacy is the priority, not a side note.
- Strangers see your verified status, never your ID.
- Your ID document is used once to confirm you are real
- No public directory — no search, no browsing, no lists of verified users
- You choose every account that appears on your profile
- You can remove an account or stop sharing your link at any time
- We do not sell your data or use it for advertising
