Troubleshooting ID Verification

Common Reasons for ID Verification Failure

1. Uploading a Saved Photo Clash5's system requires a live, freshly taken photo of your physical ID. Uploading an old image from your camera roll, a screenshot, or a digital scan will result in an automatic rejection.

  • The Fix: Always snap a brand-new picture of the actual, physical document when prompted.

2. Altered or Tampered IDs The security system will flag any ID that appears modified, digitally altered, or doesn't match standard government-issued templates.

  • The Fix: Only use a valid, completely unaltered, and authentic government ID.

3. Multiple Accounts Detected Clash5 enforces a strict one-account-per-user policy. If the system detects your personal information on another account, your verification will be blocked.

  • The Fix: Make sure you only have one active account. Reach out to Clash5 support if you need help shutting down any duplicate accounts.

4. Low-Quality or Recycled Images Sometimes the system flags submissions if the image is blurry, has too much glare, or looks like a file you've submitted in the past.

  • The Fix: Ensure excellent lighting and take a clear, high-resolution shot of your physical ID.


How to Retry Your Submission

If your first attempt failed, follow these steps for a successful retry:

  1. Double-check the official ID guidelines provided in the Clash5 verification portal.

  2. Take a brand-new, crystal-clear photo of your physical ID in good lighting.

  3. Ensure that the name, address, and phone number on your Clash5 profile perfectly match the details on your document.

  4. Resubmit the ID and wait for the system to process the update.


Why is My Redemption Blocked?

Sometimes, even after completing the ID steps, you might hit a snag when trying to redeem. Here is what to look out for:

  • Verification is Still Pending: You cannot redeem rewards until the verification process is 100% complete. Make sure all required documents were successfully uploaded and wait for the final confirmation email from Clash5.

  • Requests for Additional Proof: Occasionally, the security team needs a bit more info—like a recent utility bill to confirm your updated address—to meet compliance standards. If you get this prompt, upload the requested documents as soon as possible and wait for the Redemption Team to clear your account.

  • Automated Rejections of Valid IDs: Clash5 uses an automated processing system, meaning there is no manual review team to push your ID through. Occasionally, a perfectly valid ID might get rejected due to camera angles or glare. If this happens, try submitting a different form of accepted ID, or simply try taking the photo again.

Quick Summary Checklist

  • Use fresh photos: Only snap live pictures of your physical ID (no scans or saved images).

  • Keep it authentic: Never submit tampered or altered documents.

  • Follow the rules: Confirm you only have one active Clash5 account.

  • Stay responsive: Quickly provide any extra documents if the system asks for proof of address.
