Use the latest version of Google Chrome browser (whether you’re on a computer or mobile device)
Your phone’s camera typically produces the clearest photo
Make sure your settings allow Coinbase access to your camera and photos
Natural light works best to ensure your area is well-lit
Use indirect light to avoid glare
If you must use a webcam, try setting the ID down flat and move the webcam instead of moving the ID
Use a plain background for the ID
Don’t hold the ID in your hand (this can confuse the focusing lens and obstruct your ID)
Wait at least 30 minutes between attempts
If issues persist, clear your browser cache, restart the browser, and try again.
