Bolt is rolling out its rider verification feature to more customers, including the option for all customers to verify themselves.

This is part of Bolt’s ongoing investment in upgrades to safety features on its platform, enhancing driver-rider trust and offering drivers more reasons to pick up an order, which in term will translate to an overall faster, more efficient experience for riders. 

As part of this in-app feature, customers will be given the option to take a selfie before they are able to place a ride-hailing order.

For the selfie to be valid, it needs to be an authentic picture of a physically present person, with the face clearly visible.

The rider will also need to upload an identification document, which Bolt will check against the selfie.

The validation process takes from a few seconds to a couple of minutes and requires the latest version of the app to use.

Rider verification joins existing trip verification features, including driver verification, trip count, trip details, rider profile photo, Driver Scores, and Rider Ratings.

These are part of Bolt’s extensive list of safety features including the in-app safety toolkit enabling drivers to share their ride details with a friend or loved one, to access the Emergency Assist button, and to trigger an audio recording of their trip if they ever feel uncomfortable during a ride.

With trip safety monitoring, Bolt automatically engages with riders and drivers in-app when a vehicle remains still for too long to confirm everything is okay, and driver alerts help flag any areas on a trip’s route where high volumes of driver and rider safety cases have been reported to Bolt’s Customer Support team.

Commenting on this, Yahaya Mohammed, country manager at Bolt Nigeria said:

“Being able to verify that riders are who they say they are, is the number one feature requested by driver partners in Nigeria. The launch of rider verification as another trip verification feature is an acknowledgement of the importance of mutual trust between driver partners and riders. With increased investment in verification features like this one that consider the trip as a whole, we aim to continue to build driver and rider trust, which is critical to the safety of the platform.”
