Understanding KYC: What to Expect and How to Prepare Your Documents

KYC verification is mandatory for every seller — a required gate, not an optional trust badge. Here's exactly what's involved.

The three documents you need

1. Government-issued ID or passport. Current, legible, not expired.
2. A selfie holding that ID. Clear lighting, ID visible next to your face.
3. Proof of address. Dated within the last three months.

How to photograph documents correctly

Use natural light, not flash. Lay documents flat, capture all four corners, check focus before uploading.
