Verification is powered by PARKLINQ’s patented LocalPerks™ system using Stripe’s secure identity infrastructure. Stripe is a globally trusted platform used by millions of businesses. Your ID is securely verified — ensuring it’s real, valid, and meets local eligibility for perks. Your ID is never stored in our system and is used strictly for verification. Once approved, we retain only your name and verification status so you can skip re-verification at any LocalPerks™-enabled location statewide. All data is transmitted over TLS-encrypted connections and validated against secure global databases using AES-256 encryption. Alternative option: You can choose “Enter my info manually” instead of uploading a photo and input your driver’s license details, which are verified through the same secure process.
