ID photos — after you create your account

You do not need to upload your government ID or selfie on this screen. Create your account with SMS first (works on slow mobile data). Then add ID one photo at a time when your signal is better — or skip and browse the map right away. Listing items for sale still requires ID later.

I agree to the Handshake Center Terms of Use and understand that fraud may lead to account suspension.

I agree to honest dealings, no scam listings, no fake official accounts, and respectful contact with other members.
