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.
The most common reasons for failing KYC verification are:
- Unclear / poor-quality image of ID or selfie. Please ensure the images you upload are clearly readable and not blurry.
- The image of 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- ID is out of date.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.
