Badges help to build trust in the Airtasker community and provides Posters with additional information when deciding who to work with on a task. When specific requirements are met, a badge is shown on a member’s profile.
There are three different types of badges on Airtasker:
- ID Badges
- Licence Badges (Australia only)
- Partner Badges (Australia only)
Please note that the Badges are issued based on a point in time check which means results only reflect relevant records on the date that the verification was completed. As a Poster, you can hover over the credential Badges to see the verification date (some of the basic Badges won't show a date).
If you engage a Badge holder for a Task, you should verify their current credentials prior to the task being carried out.
For further details on verification and Badges see also Section 10 of Airtasker's Terms & Conditions.
ID badges
ID badges are our way of showing that members are who they say they are. Everyone who holds one (or more) of these has verified their identity with us in some way, with different kinds of badges showing what’s been proven.
Here are the ID badges available right now:
