ID Verification in Self Storage: Why It Matters More Than Ever

Self storage has evolved. From online bookings to automated access, today’s customers expect speed, convenience and security. But with that convenience comes risk—especially when you don’t know exactly who’s renting your space.

That’s why ID verification is becoming an essential part of modern self storage operations.

At Alyta, we’ve partnered with Shufti Pro to make identity checks simple, fast and reliable.

Why ID Verification Matters

Whether someone’s storing household items, business stock or valuable belongings, they’re being granted access to real space with real responsibilities. Without ID verification, your business may be exposed to:

• Fraudulent or false identity bookings
• Unpaid debts or abandoned goods
• Increased risk of theft or misuse
• Potential non-compliance with legal obligations

Verifying identity isn't just about checking a box—it protects your business, your customers, and your reputation.

How It Works in Alyta

We’ve built Shufti Pro directly into the Alyta platform. This means you can verify customers as part of your normal workflow, with no extra logins or tools required.

The process is simple:

1. Admins choose when to trigger ID checks .
2. Customers receive a secure link to verify their identity.
3. They upload a valid photo ID and complete a short selfie verification.
4. Verification results appear directly in your Alyta dashboard in real time.

You can also customise verification requirements to match your business needs.

The Benefits

With ID verification enabled, you’ll be able to:

• Prevent fraud and identity misuse
• Protect access to your facility
• Speed up customer onboarding
• Meet compliance obligations with ease
• Offer a smoother and more secure rental experience

In an industry where face-to-face contact is becoming less common, having reliable identity checks in place ensures your business stays secure and professional.
