Anthropic Tightens Privacy Procedures: Identity Verification Requirement for Claude Users

Starting July 8, 2026, Claude artificial intelligence users may be required to present an ID card and a selfie to verify their identity. According to reports by Technology - HaMadlif, this is a significant change in the user policy of the company Anthropic.

In an additional report by 📱 Technology Updates 💻, relying on information from Gadgety, it was detailed that the move is being carried out as part of a broader update to the privacy policy. As part of the process, the company Persona will be responsible for managing the verification process and will hold the users' identification data.

As of now, Anthropic has not detailed in which specific cases identity verification will be required or which groups of users will be directly affected by the move. The ambiguity surrounding the verification criteria raises questions regarding the extent of the use of biometric data and identification cards among the major artificial intelligence companies.
