🇺🇸  Verified Americans  ·  Real Names  ·  Zero Bots

The American public square,
where everyone is real.

1776 Forum is built on one simple idea: you should know who you're actually talking to.

Every member verifies a US driver's license and posts under their real, legal name. No anonymity, no impersonators, no foreign bot armies — just verified American citizens, speaking for themselves.

📛

Your real name, always

Your identity is the legal name on your driver's license — surfaced automatically, never invented. People own what they say.

🇺🇸

Americans only

We accept US driver's licenses only. This is a space for verified Americans to talk with other verified Americans.

🚫

No bots. Period.

Every account is one human holding one physical ID. The system rejects any license it has already seen — alt accounts are impossible.

🗽

Free, civil debate

Strong opinions and hard arguments are welcome. We only step in for true threats, targeted harassment, doxxing, and spam.

How verification works

1

Create your account

Enter your email and a password. We send a 6-digit code to confirm it's yours — about 30 seconds.

2

Verify your US driver's license — required

Snap a photo of your US driver's license plus a quick selfie to match the face. Handled entirely by Stripe Identity, one of the most trusted verification systems in the world. We read your legal name and state from the license — that becomes your identity here.

3

Start posting as yourself

Add an optional bio, follow other verified Americans, and join the conversation under your real name.

On your privacy: We store your legal name and state (your public identity), and a one-way cryptographic hash of your license number to guarantee one account per person — never the number itself, never your license image. Stripe holds the underlying verification data under its own strict controls.
