If you are having trouble verifying your identity with the KYC process on on Step 8, here are some suggestions to help resolve the issue:

1. Ensure Your ID is Clear and Valid

  • Use a government-issued, unexpired ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID).
  • Ensure the ID is not damaged, blurry, or obscured.
  • Place the ID on a flat surface or hold it steady while taking the photo.
  • Take the picture in a well-lit environment to reduce glare and shadows.

2. Match the Selfie with Your ID

  • Make sure your face is fully visible in the selfie.
  • Remove hats, glasses, or masks that may obscure your face.
  • Keep a neutral expression and look directly at the camera.
  • Ensure the background is clear to avoid errors in face-matching.

3. Verify Your Personal Information

  • Ensure your full name, date of birth, and address match the information on your ID.
  • Double-check that there are no typos or mismatched details.

4. Use a Supported Device and Browser

  • Vouched works best on an updated web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari).
  • If using a phone, ensure you are using a modern smartphone with a functional camera.
  • Try switching to a different device or browser if verification fails.

5. Enable Camera and File Permissions

  • If using a mobile device:
    • iPhone: Go to Settings → Safari → Camera & Microphone and allow access.
    • Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Browser App → Permissions and enable camera access.
  • If using a computer:
    • Ensure your browser has permission to access the camera in site settings.

6. Check Your Internet Connection

  • A stable internet connection is required for a smooth verification process.
  • Avoid using public Wi-Fi or slow networks.
