How to get your account verified

1. Start a new verification request.
2. Select an ID to submit from a drop-down menu: identity document (ID), driver’s licence, passport, residence permit, or other documents.

For identity document (ID): take a picture of its front side

For driver’s licence: take a picture of its front side

For passport: take a picture of its front side

For residence permit: take a picture of its front side

For other documents: take pictures of both sides

4. Ensure all four corners of your document are visible, and the text is in focus and readable. We do not accept images that only show part of the document. Your face should be clearly visible, and the image of the document should be bright.
5. Upload the photos of your document in the JPG format, 10 MB maximum
6. Press the Submit Request button. 
7. Wait for our email—we’ll tell you when the verification is complete. This usually takes a few minutes but may sometimes take up to two hours.
   If something goes wrong and we cannot verify you, follow the tips from this email and repeat your request.

Tips for completing verification successfully

If the face on your ID is not clear, take a selfie with that ID

Or even ask someone to take a good picture of you with your document.

1. Take a close-up photo of your ID. Check that the focus is clear and the document is fully visible in the photo.
2. Take a photo of yourself holding this ID—front side to the camera. We will need to see your face and the document details in one image. Don’t worry, we do not share this private information openly.
3. Make a new verification request on the same device where you saved the photo.
