Only KYC verified users will be able to sell on the VeVe or StackR marketplaces.
To pass KYC, you will complete an ID check (by uploading a picture of your government-issued ID), a selfie check (by looking into your phone/computer camera) and a proof of address check (by uploading a document as proof of address).
You will need to have your original ID plus the document you will use for proof of address to complete the process.
Note: The most common reason for failing KYC is proof of address issues. We strongly recommend you read this detailed article about proof of address requirements if you are having issues with your proof of address documents.
Depending on your location, you may be given the option to use the "Proof of Address through Geolocation" feature of the KYC process. This feature gives eligible users the option to use their mobile device to provide their location - instead of uploading a proof of address document. If you are not given this option or do not wish to use this feature, you will need to upload a valid proof of address document (see below for guidance on the acceptable documents).
Read below to learn about the most common reasons why the verification fails, and try to avoid these pitfalls.
