If your identity verification (KYC) fails, don’t worry—this is common and usually easy to fix. Verification checks are in place to keep your account secure and to meet legal requirements for financial services. At Yeeld, identity verification is completed digitally using secure providers and may include ID checks, selfies, and address verification as part of the onboarding process . --- ### Common reasons verification fails Most issues come down to small errors or unclear information, such as: - **Blurry or low-quality photos** of your ID or selfie - **Documents that are expired or not supported** - **Details that don’t match**, such as your name or date of birth - **Poor lighting or glare** on your document - **Incomplete images**, where edges or corners are cut off --- ### How to fix it You can usually resolve this by retrying with a few simple improvements: **1. Upload clearer images** - Make sure your document is fully visible - Use good lighting and avoid glare or shadows - Keep your camera steady and in focus **2. Use valid documents** - Ensure your ID is in date - Only use accepted document types (e.g. passport or driving licence) **3. Check your details carefully** - Make sure your name, date of birth, and other details match exactly - Avoid nicknames or abbreviations **4. Follow the selfie instructions** - Ensure your face is clearly visible - Remove hats or sunglasses - Complete any liveness checks as prompted --- ### Still not working?
