Make sure your device has a good quality camera and a stable internet connection. It is vital to take good-quality pictures of the identity document. Most of the verification fails because of the bad camera or internet quality. Especially when using a desktop/laptop, which usually has a poor camera quality.

If you’re using an ID card or driver’s license, you will need to show both sides of the document. If you are using your passport you will need to show the information page. It’s the page with your picture and personal details. Make sure the full page is visible, which includes the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the page. Don’t cover any security features with your fingers, they are a vital part of the document that confirms the security and authenticity of the ID.
