Valid ID Lists

KYC is verifying whether the person is the one who they say is by comparing the face on the ID card and the submitted selfie photo. The ID documents should be issued by the government and must include a face photo.

•Driver’s License

•State issued ID

•Passport

•Military Identification Card

•Other government-issued identification cards with face photo

Government-issued ID cards that do not include a face photo will not be accepted to use in the KYC. It is because KYC is an online verification process in which comparison is a required process. ID cards that are commonly used are acceptable for KYC, such as driver's license or passport. When you are not sure whether your ID card can be used for KYC, just remember whether it’s 1) issued by the government and 2) has a face photo.
