Airbnb requires proof that this is your primary residence (a picture of your driver’s license, state ID card, or passport showing the address) and a picture of one additional document with your address (city-issued utility bill or voter registration). During the Airbnb signup process, you will also pay $95 for a city license (which will be refunded if you are only using it for short term rentals) and $250 for a San Francisco Short Term Rental License, which is good for two years.
