About Claude

🚨 April 15, 2026: Anthropic Introduces Identity Verification
Anthropic updated its Help Center on April 15, 2026 with a policy drawing widespread attention: the platform is introducing identity verification for "certain Claude use cases" — when users access specific capabilities, during routine integrity checks, or to meet safety and compliance requirements. Many users speculate this could be a precursor to real-name registration for certain regions.
Anthropic's stated rationale: "Being responsible with powerful technology starts with knowing who is using it."
Official verification process highlights: You must provide a physical government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, national ID card — originals only; no photocopies or digital IDs) and complete a live selfie via a camera-equipped device. The process typically takes under 5 minutes. Anthropic partners with Persona Identities for processing; your documents are not used for model training and are not stored on Anthropic's systems.
Impact on SMS-verified accounts
- New users who registered via SMS platforms may still trigger identity verification later
- Existing users who access certain capabilities may also be required to re-verify
- Once fully implemented, accounts unable to complete identity verification may lose access
Strongly recommended: Complete your Claude 4.5/4.6 registration via SMS-Act now, set up 2FA and a recovery email, and prepare a physical government-issued ID for future verification needs.
Why We Do Not Recommend Buying Claude Accounts
You may find offers to buy ready-made Claude accounts online. We strongly recommend avoiding this approach because it creates long-term account and security risks.
Three Major Risks
Risk Alert
- High suspension risk: Purchased accounts usually violate platform policies and can be suspended without warning.
- Policy violation: Abnormal login patterns (IP changes, behavior shifts) can trigger automated risk controls.
- Privacy exposure: Shared or resold accounts can expose chats, business notes, and personal data.
Why Self-Registration with SMS-Act Is Better
- Account ownership: You control the full registration flow and keep a clean account history.
