Having trouble choosing the appropriate photos of your ID or yourself during your verification process? Please check out the guidelines below.

Which IDs are acceptable?

Based on different Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements of different jurisdictions, you may use your state ID and driver's license. The ID should also meet the following requirements:

  • All information, including your profile photo, is clearly legible;

  • Within expiry;

  • Contains your date of birth.

How to properly take photos of my ID?

Photos of your ID must be in color, and the photographed ID must be the original, not a screenshot, another photo, or a photocopy. The photos of your ID should also show all corners of the ID card or document.

Usually, you'll be required to upload both the photo side and the back side of your ID, as shown in the examples below.
