Make sure your web or mobile camera is connected and working.

Click “Start” and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

Select the country and document-type of the ID you wish to use.

Upload the photos of the ID document.

You may start the verification on desktop and switch to mobile midway through, if necessary.

Press “Continue on your phone” to switch to mobile using a QR code or a link.

You can use any official government document—ID-card, passport, driving license, etc. —valid for at least one month after the present date.

Face the camera and slowly rotate your head in a full circle to complete our liveness verification.

Liveness verification confirms that we are dealing with the document owner, rather than an imposter.

Please try to keep your face within the frame throughout the procedure.

At this or any other step in the verification procedure, you can switch from desktop to mobile.

Submit photos of proof of residence documents for validation—the same way you uploaded your ID document.

Please pay attention to the list of documents that we don’t accept.

When taking photos, please note that

utility bills and bank statements must be no older than 3 months and be printed on an official form,
the document must contain your full name (the same as on your ID document),
address, and the date of issue, all corners of the document should be within the frame,
the documents must differ from those used in steps 2 and 4.
