Proof of ID

  1. Log in to your account and, from the main menu, click the “Information required” orange banner displayed at the top of the page.

  2. Under Identity verification, click Upload.

  3. Tick the box to confirm consent, then click Start.

  4. Choose your region and the document you’ll use as proof of ID.

  5. Select how you want to upload the file:

    • Continue on this device (recommended).

  • Press Continue if you’re using the camera.

6. Position the document in the frame and take a photo of the front side, then the back side.

7. Once uploaded, wait for the document to be accepted.

Document rejected? Try these steps before uploading again

A document may be rejected if information is unclear or incomplete, or if it does not meet our verification requirements. Before uploading it again, check the following:

1. Make sure the full document is visible

  • The image must not be cropped or cut off

  • All four corners should be clearly visible

2. Check that the document is valid and in date

  • Expired documents cannot be accepted

  • Ensure the issue and expiry dates are readable

3. Confirm that all personal details are clearly shown

  • Your full name must be visible

  • Your address must match the one registered on your account

  • The text must be readable and not blurry or covered by reflections

4. Verify that your document is accepted

If everything is clear but the document is still rejected, review our accepted documents and requirements and upload a suitable alternative.
