Updating information
If you’re updating your name, make sure that your name matches your legal name on your ID and the information you provide is accurate. If you’re having trouble verifying your photo ID, see these troubleshooting tips.
You can change your address and legal name in your account Settings. Changing your country of residence will require completion of the ID verification process again.
Unsuccessful verification
If your ID verification is unsuccessful, you can try again. Contact us if the information you entered is accurate, but you still cannot pass ID verification.
