Why am I failing ID Verification / KYC?

Everything you need to know about verifying your account

Updated this week

Did you know that to verify your account (pass KYC) and become a creator, you must have a valid, in-date, government-issued international ID.

The Most Common Reasons for Failing KYC Verification

To complete KYC and become a creator, you must have a valid, in-date, government-issued international ID or passport.

  • Unclear/poor-quality image of ID or selfie: Please ensure the images you upload are clearly readable and not blurry.

  • The image of the ID is zoomed too far in or out: Ensure the whole ID is clearly visible.

  • Low light level environment. Take the photo in a well-lit environment, but clear of reflections.

  • ID is out of date: Make sure you upload an up-to-date ID.

  • Device camera is poor quality: If you are using a desktop, webcams can be suboptimal for completing KYC. Try switching to mobile using the QR code displayed when going through KYC to use your phone instead.

TIP: Sometimes devices don't focus properly, causing blur. To combat this, try putting a white piece of paper behind your photo ID, and make sure your selfie is on a plain background.


Why is my camera not working for KYC Verification?

When completing KYC to become a creator, you will need to take a picture of your government-issued ID and a selfie to verify your identity. To do this, you will need to enable camera permissions on your device/browser. Below are links to instructions on how to enable this:
