Best Practices for Successful ID Verification:
- Have your government issued ID handy.
- Phone cameras generally produce higher quality images than webcam cameras.
- Wipe your camera with a lens-safe cloth to prevent a blurry photo and ensure it produces the clearest photo.
- Ensure you utilize indirect light to avoid glare or backlighting.
- Scanned photos will not be accepted; instead take a photo of the front and back of your ID and a selfie when instructed to do so.
- Make sure that the digits on the ID are readable in the photo.
- Use a plain background for the photo of the ID and for the selfie.
- Remove any large accessories, such as a hat or glasses, unless you were wearing glasses in the photo on the government-issued identification used for identity verification.
- If you are having trouble on one device or browser, you can try to verify on another device or browser.
