Upload Issues 📤

Common issues:

  • ❌ File won’t upload

  • ❌ “File too large” error

  • ❌ Format not supported

What to do:

✅ Use JPG, PNG, or PDF files

✅ Keep file size under 10MB

✅ Ensure the image is clear, not cropped, and well-lit


Document rejection — Why it happens📎

Frequent reasons:

  1. Missing or Incorrect Information

    • The document does not clearly show your full name, residential address, or issue date (must be within the last 3 months).

  2. Unacceptable Document Format

    • Edited, cropped, or digitally altered images are not accepted.

    • Black-and-white or low-quality scans may be declined.

  3. Outdated Documents

    • Any document older than 3 months will not be valid.


Proof of address — Accepted documents 🏠

To verify your address, upload one of the following (issued within the last 3 months):

  • Utility bill (electricity, water, internet, gas)

  • Bank or credit card statement

  • Tax invoice or municipal bill

  • Government-issued letter

  • National ID with address (if eligible for geo-verification)

⚠️ Important: The document must clearly show:

  • Your full name

  • Your residential address

  • The issue date


Tips for selfie verification 🤳

Sometimes, a selfie may be requested. To get it right:

  • Look directly into the camera

  • Avoid sunglasses, hats, or masks

  • Take the photo in a quiet, well-lit place


How long does it take? ⏱️

  • Identity check (basic verification): Usually takes a few minutes, but in some cases up to 24 hours.

  • Source of funds verification: May take 24 to 48 hours.
