Badges help to build trust in the Airtasker community and gives customers more information when deciding who to work with on a task. When specific requirements are met, a badge is shown on a user’s profile.
There are three different types of badges on Airtasker:
- ID Badges
- Licence Badges
- Partner Badges
ID Badges
ID badges are our way of showing that users are who they say they are. Everyone who holds one (or more) of these has verified their identity with us in some way, with different kinds of badges showing what’s been proven.
Here are the ID badges available right now:
| COVID-19 Vaccination Badge | You can let other users know if you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Find out more here. |
| Police Check Badge | Provide peace of mind to other users by successfully completing a Police Check. |
| Australia Post Digital iD | Give users a greater level of comfort and trust in choosing you for key tasks and verify your identity with Australia Post’s Digital iD™. |
| Working with Children | Provide peace of mind to other users by verifying your Working with Children credentials |
| Payment Method | Make and receive payments with ease by having your payment method verified. |
| Mobile | Verified when you join Airtasker, this allows you to receive instant task notifications via Airtasker. |
| Connect your Facebook profile to build your online social reputation. | |
| Connect your professional Linkedin profile to build your online social reputation. | |
| Connect your Twitter profile to build your online social reputation. |
COVID-19 Vaccinated Badge
It’s important that everyone feels safe when using Airtasker. Anyone who is fully vaccinated and has their COVID-19 digital certificate is invited to apply to add this badge to their profile. We hope this will give you and the community peace of mind when using Airtasker to connect with others.

Police Check Badge
A Police Check Badge is only added to a user’s profile if they do not have a Disclosable Court Outcome (i.e. the Airtasker Member has a clean police history check) as notified to Airtasker by our verifications provider, and their name and date of birth details on Airtasker match those provided for the police check.
Apply for the Police Check Badge

Australia Post’s Digital iD Badge
Give users a greater level of comfort and trust in choosing you for key tasks and verify your identity with Australia Post’s Digital iD.
To get the badge on your profile, simply complete the application process and if successful the Digital iD Badge will be added. That way, a customer can be reassured that you’ll be the one to do their task.
Apply for the Digital iD Badge
Working with Children Badge
Let other users know if you have an existing Working with Children Check.
To get the badge on your profile, fill out the application for your state or territory. Once verified with the relevant registry, we’ll add the badge to your profile.
Apply for the Working with Children Badge
Important note for customers:
Please note that the Badge is granted based on a point in time check which means results only reflect relevant records on the date that the check was completed. If you engage a Working with Children Badge holder for tasks involving children, you should verify their current credentials prior to the task being carried out.
Once you’ve accepted an offer you can request the following details from a Working with Children Badge Airtasker:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Check no.

Licence Badges
When you’re looking at getting someone in to do a serious bit of work, like electrical work, for example, you want to know the person that’s doing it has the ability to do what they say they can do. While Airtasker has built-in functions to help you check out the quality of a Tasker’s skills (Reviews and Completion Rate), it can be helpful to know they also have the training and legal approval to do it!
That’s where Licence and Qualification Badges come in. Each represents a trade that the owner is qualified and/or licensed to do in a certain state. Make sure you see the paper version in person when they come to the job though, just to be sure.
Here are the Licence Badges available right now:
Electrical Badge
Let users know you’ve got the paperwork to properly do electrical work in Australia.
Plumbing Badge
Let users know you’ve got the paperwork to properly do plumbing work in Australia.
Gasfitting Badge
Let users know you’ve got the paperwork to properly do gasfitting work in Australia.
Partner Badges
These badges have been developed between Airtasker and other businesses through partnership programs, identifying people with specialised skills for relevant tasks.
IKEA Badge
Handy with an Allen key? Let members know and start assembling Swedish furniture. You’ll get exclusive access to hundreds of IKEA jobs in your area.
Follow these steps to add a Badge to your profile:
- Go to Settings
- Select Verifications
- Select Add next to the badge
Yes indeed. amazing how Airtasker quite literally get it all together in one platform and in so easy a way for everyone.
Quite impressive use of tech!!! Will be uploading my police check shortly.
How do i get in contact with a task poster like how do i recieve phone numbers
Digital iD does not work
By them assigning you
Hi Vineet, You should be able to apply for it now. Please let us know if you have any other issues.
Do you have to get a badge if you’re only a job poster?
Pretty annoying the commbank one requires twitter and linkedin, i have neither of those social platforms and dont want them
What the… why on earth is this even important? Airtasker already have 2 of my social platform profiles, my mobile, bank details, and now this — passport, Postal digital ID, or Certification? If clients want any of these, we can always share them our other certification and identity. Now Airtasker is keeping a database of its members/workers’ other personal details?!? That is not right. Will you be using our information for third party companies?
i will like continued Airtasker, but don’t make complicated the access. Regards.
I think it’s quite unfair that you don’t take applications for airtasker pro anymore. Judging on those who have it it’s simply awarded for being on airtasker early enough instead of on actual skills or qualifications.
Digital Id does not work. Mine was with airtasker 5th Sept. Pro badge has gone but no sign of Digital id badge
unable to get digital ID- just going around and around in circles…Is it just me??
How do I get in contact with you?
I have assigned a job of removing trees to later find out that not only does he not have chainsaws etc, but has no tree-felling experience. What do I do if this is the only way to contact you. Please reply asap
Why is it you don’t have to verify trade certificates?
Hi folks, definitely need more licensed badges for skills such as plumbing and building.
Why do I need to give credit cards details before I can discuss the job with the contractor? Is the money taken upfront?
Somewhat useful, I’m scared of this because it’s new????
How do I get in contact with Airtasker for any queries?
I have completed tasks however my profile says no completion rate. Could I please be contacted?
