Once you have created your Profile, we need to review all the information you have submitted to us.
Before You Begin:
1. Prepare your Documents:
- Ensure you have your valid government-issued ID ready.
- Be prepared to take a photo of yourself for identity verification.
2. Check Your ID:
- Make sure your ID contains your picture, signature, name, date of birth, and address (excluding passports, which do not need an address).
3. Acceptable Documents:
- Accepted IDs include a passport, national ID card, driver’s license, tax ID, voter ID, postal ID, or any other valid government-issued photo ID that meets these criteria.
- We cannot accept student IDs, employee IDs, library cards, handwritten IDs, temporary IDs, photocopied IDs, military IDs, or health cards.
Taking a Picture of Your Government ID:
1. Lighting and Flash:
- Disable the flash on your camera to prevent glare and distortion.
2. Camera Angle:
- Place your ID on a flat, well-lit surface.
- Position your camera above the ID to capture it in its entirety.
3. Show All Corners:
- Ensure all four corners of your ID are visible in the photo.
4. Color Photo:
- Take the photo in color, ensuring that it accurately represents the colors on your ID.
5. No Editing:
- Do not crop, rotate, touch up, adjust colors, or alter the images in any way.
Selfie for Verification:
- Capture a Clear Selfie:
- Take a clear and well-lit selfie to verify your identity.
- Ensure your face is well-lit, visible, and matches the photo on your government ID.
