To complete identity verification, you must upload a valid, government-issued photo ID that is current and not expired.
The system verifies your identity by reviewing your ID and, in most cases, matching it with a live selfie for authenticity.

The following types of government-issued photo identification are generally accepted:
Driver’s License (state or national)
Passport (passport book or passport card, where supported)
National ID Card
Residence Permit (in supported regions)
Visa or Work Permit (where applicable)

Your ID must:

Include a clear photo

ID Requirements for a Successful Verification
For the best results:
Use a physical, official ID (not a photocopy or screenshot)
Ensure the image is clear and fully visible
Avoid glare, blur, or cropped edges
Make sure all text on the ID is readable
In most cases, you will also be asked to take a live selfie to confirm that the ID belongs to you.
IDs That Are Not Accepted
The following documents are not supported for identity verification:
Temporary IDs (such as temporary driver’s licenses)
Birth certificates
Military IDs
Non-government or unofficial identification
Expired IDs
Does My ID Need to Be REAL ID Compliant?
No. Your ID does not need to be REAL ID compliant (gold star) to be accepted.
As long as the ID is a valid, government-issued photo ID and is not expired, it can typically be used for identity verification.
