Trendach Channel News IT Marketing CultureClaude Introduces Passport Verification and Bans Russians
Developers of the popular Claude neural network have introduced a mandatory identity verification procedure requiring passport submission. This measure aims to strengthen control over service users.
Russia is not officially supported by the platform. Using a Russian passport for verification leads to account bans. Document verification requests are sent only to suspicious users, such as those using VPN services.
To access the service from Russia, virtual private networks must be disabled. Without this condition, using Claude becomes impossible.
- Mandatory passport verification (KYC) for all users
- Account bans for using Russian documents
- Verification requests sent only to suspicious users
- Access from the Russian Federation possible only without VPN
