Hi everyone. I have a quick question. I had a guest stay in my home. I believed her name was Blah blah blah. Well come to find out it was not really her name. I was under the impression that airbnb verified legal names. These folks are staying under my roof with me and I prefer to know who is in my home. I have received many request from guest that have no feedback. I aways have to tell them NO. Airbnb will send me message that I should allow these guest. So one time I did. It turned out poorly, I will never do it again. That was very disappointing...
@Kristine215 Nope. You can go into your profile settings right now and change your name to anything you want it to be. You can have a new name every day if you want to.
You can set your listing so that you only accept guests with photo ID, but if you want to verify a guests legal ID make it part of your house rules that you check passport/driving license on arrival.
Some Airbnb profiles use a different name. Just as some like yourself choose not to use a profile photo of yourself, but show a photo of a random object.
