Best Practices for Ensuring Successful KYC Verification
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a critical step in account setup and security. Following these best practices will help ensure your verification process is smooth and successful.
Document Requirements
Use a valid, unexpired, government-issued ID such as a passport, national ID card, or driver’s license.
Ensure the document is in perfect condition with no damage, alterations, or tampering.
Use the original physical document (not a scan, photocopy, or photo of a screen).
Confirm that the name on the document matches the name on your account exactly.
Photo Quality Guidelines
Take a clear photo of the document in good lighting, avoiding glare, reflections, and shadows.
Ensure the entire document is visible, with all four corners in frame.
Keep the image sharp and in focus; avoid blur.
Do not edit, crop, or apply filters to the image.
Use a high-quality camera if possible, and avoid using the front camera.
Submission Process
Complete the process on your own device with a working camera.
Maintain a stable internet connection throughout the process.
Avoid using a VPN during the verification process.
Follow the on-screen instructions for the live selfie step, ensuring your face is centered, well-lit, and unobstructed. Avoid wearing sunglasses, caps, or anything that covers your face.
Common Errors to Avoid
Do not use digital copies, screenshots, or photos of a screen. Always use the original physical document.
Avoid submitting documents that are expired, damaged, or altered.
Ensure the document is not covered by fingers or objects and that all details are fully readable.
