DoorDash to now require over 150,000 Dashers to re-verify identity each week

DoorDash (DASH) said in a blog post that it is rolling out more frequent identity re-verification and new machine learning technology to better ensure Dashers are who they are. The company will now require more than 150,000 Dashers to re-verify their identity each week. “While no system is perfect, our safeguards are effective and produce meaningful results,” the company said. “Every week, our screening process prevents over 15,000 prospective Dashers who fail to meet our criteria from joining the platform. Monthly deactivations of inauthentic accounts have more than doubled compared to last year, with 2024’s deactivations surpassing all of 2023 by July. And each week, we prevent an average of 4,600 attempts by deactivated Dashers who previously violated our verification policies from regaining access.”
