Troubleshooting verification
Most verification issues are caused by lighting or camera positioning. Verification must be completed on a mobile device.
Lighting:
Move near a window (daytime)
Turn on overhead lights
Use multiple light sources
Avoid backlighting (light behind you)
Camera positioning:
Hold your phone at eye level
Keep entire face in frame
Look directly at the camera
Stay still during capture
Remove obstructions:
Take off hats, sunglasses, masks
Move hair away from face
Don't cover face with hands
Technical issues:
Check camera permissions in your phone's settings
Close other apps using your camera
Try a different browser (on iPhone/iPad, use Safari)
Check internet connection
Don't use filters or camera effects. Must be your actual face (not a photo of a photo).
