Attention: How many Providers Actually Check P411 ID's when Hobbyist Arrive's?

I've only been asked to verify the P411 information once.

I'm happy to do it, just hasn't come up much.
Checking I.D will be difficult to do now! Seems how P411 members are allowed to use Handles as their P411 I.D ! Instead of "Bob Smith" it is "Tall Drink Of Water" or Whatever they have chosen.... I do everything possible on my end to keep myself and the client Safe ! I do appreciate you for trying to keep us all safe ! Not everyone is using handles but i have noticed more and more that are !

Yes you can put anything you want in the "name" field of a P411 profile but that's not the actual ID, that's just a nickname. The ID rules are the same as they have been, first name, then some other info that can be verified on a drivers license.

And if a P411 client DOES use a name other than shown on their DL for the real P411 ID then providers shouldn't be seeing him anyway.
