Dating, safety first
Never meet a stranger you couldn't check first.
Safety first isn't a vibe. It's a check you can run before you go.
Before a first date, all you have is photos and a first name. Anchor keeps you safe by confirming their passport and face were checked, and that the socials they showed you are genuinely theirs.
They never see your documents. Only that the checks passed, and when.

Why it feels unsafe
A dating profile proves nothing.
Photos prove nothing
Faces, voice notes, even live-looking video calls can be generated now. A profile can't show you a real person exists behind it.
Anyone can be anyone
Borrowed photos, a name you can't google, an Instagram that isn't theirs. If they're lying, you usually find out on the date.
You take all the risk
You show up alone to meet someone whose real name you don't know. They're anonymous. You're not.
The awkward part
Isn't it weird to ask?
"Isn't it weird to ask?"
Not if you go first. Share yours, then ask for theirs — it lands the same way swapping Instagrams does.
"What if they say no?"
That's your answer. It's two minutes of admin. Someone who won't do it is telling you something before you're sitting across from them.
"Am I handing my passport to a stranger?"
No. The check happens once, with a regulated provider. Your match only ever sees that it passed, and when.
How it works
Three steps, once.
Verify once
Scan a government ID and take a live selfie through a regulated provider. About two minutes, and you never do it again.
Share your six-digit code
Drop it in the chat instead of a link. Your linked socials come with it — proven by login, not by typing in a handle.
They check it themselves
They type getanchor.id, enter the code, and see a live page we host with the date each check passed. Nothing to click, nothing to install.
Safety first
Built for the person taking the risk.
Women carry most of the risk of meeting a stranger from an app. Anchor doesn't remove that risk — it removes the part where you have no idea who they really are.
Something real to send a friend
Send your friend their Anchor code with the time and place. If anything goes wrong, there's a verified person on record — not a first name and a screenshot.
You know who you're meeting
Before you get in the car, you know a government ID and a live face check passed for the person you've been talking to.
Accountability that follows them
One human, one Anchor. Someone who behaves badly can't delete the app and reappear tomorrow as a brand new profile.
Safety without oversharing
No passport, address, or date of birth goes to a stranger. They see the checks passed — nothing else about you.
What your match sees
A live page. Not a screenshot.

They type getanchor.id, enter the code, and see when each check was completed. Anyone can fake a badge in a screenshot — nobody can fake a page hosted by us.
Make it mutual
How to ask for their Anchor.
Sharing yours first does the asking for you. Copy this into the chat:
"Here's my Anchor: getanchor.id/a/your-number — live proof I'm a real, verified person. Send me yours?"
Create your Anchor to copy thisYou stay in control
What we never do.
- Nobody — not your match, not us — can view or download your passport. Only the result is kept.
- Your address, date of birth, and document details are never shown.
- We never sell or share your data with dating apps.
- You choose what appears on your Anchor, and can revoke it anytime.
Meet knowing who they really are.
Verify once, share your code when you're ready, and make "send me your Anchor" the normal step before a first date.
