  1. Choose your Nationality.

3. Fill in your Identity Verification. Please make sure to enter your personal information exactly as shown in your ID document.

4. Upload a selfie. Please make sure that the photo is clear and not blurry.

5. Select the type of ID.

6. Upload the ID card, Passport or Driver’s License. Make sure that all the information in the document is clearly visible and easy to read. Please note that it has to be the original document, a copy or scan will not be accepted. The ID should contain a photo  of your face, your full name, and date of birth.

7. The system will automatically validate the submitted photos. This may take a moment to process.

When uploading your selfie and ID document, there is a possibility that one of them (or both) get refused because they are deemed invalid. You will be asked to upload a better version. Please take note of the following possible situations:

  • The submitted selfie does not show a face or contains multiple faces.
  • The submitted ID document is not an official document (for example, a student ID card).
  • The submitted selfie and/or ID document image is cropped, blurry or not clear.
  • The submitted ID document is valid, but the provided information does not match the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reading. OCR is a technology that recognizes text within a digital image. Please check the difference between the OCR reading’s result and the personal information that you entered in step 3.
  • Personal information must be filled out in the same language as the ID card. Other languages may be rejected.
  • A handwritten government ID or passport will not be accepted.
  • The document should be valid on the date of submission (not expired).

     

8. If the system found no inconsistencies in the submitted photos and information that you entered, then your request will be successfully submitted. You will be notified by email whether your KYC STEP 2 application has been approved or declined.

 

What to do if your KYC Submission is Rejected

If your KYC submission was rejected, go to My Page and click ‘Verification (KYC)’. Please take note of the rejection explanation of your KYC STEP 2 submission, and try the process again.
