Why was my verification rejected?

QUICK ANSWER

The most common reasons are a blurry or cropped document photo, a name mismatch between your ID and your account, an expired document, or a proof of address older than 3 months. Each case has a fix below — most are resolved by re-uploading.

The six most common rejection reasons

Blurry, cropped, or glare-affected document.

Take the photo in good lighting and make sure all document details are fully visible. Avoid reflections, glare, heavy shadows, or cropped edges.

Expired document.

Only valid, non-expired identity documents can be accepted. Please renew the document and upload a new photo.

Proof of address older than 3 months.

Proof of address documents should clearly display your address information. In some cases, bank statements, utility bills, or the address side of an ID card may be accepted.

Selfie doesn't match the ID photo.

This may happen if the photo quality is poor, the face is partially covered, or the lighting is insufficient. Retake the selfie in clear lighting without glasses, hats, or filters.

Suspected document tampering.

Do not edit or heavily process document images before uploading. Submit original, unmodified photos directly from your device whenever possible.

What to do next

Read the rejection email carefully — the specific reason is listed there. Apply the fix from the list above. Re-submit through the same Verify account flow. Most resubmissions are approved within 24 hours.
