Common reasons for denied identity verification while signing up:

  • glares, shadows, or covered edges/information

  • blurry and out of focus photos

  • altered or edited photos

  • expired or non-government issued photo ID documents

  • information mismatch with payroll provider

For your government-issued photo ID to be approved automatically, make sure to follow this criteria:

  • All the information is clearly visible

    • First name and last name

    • Date of birth and expiry

    • Document borders are all in frame

  • No glare from camera flash or lighting

  • The image is in focus and upright, not rotated

  • Use a plain background behind your ID (like a sheet of paper)

Why is my ID still being denied when it matches the criteria?

Another common reason for a denied ID verification is a mismatch of information.

Make sure your name and your date of birth matches the information provided to your employer or payroll provider.

For security reasons, ZayZoon cannot update this information for you. You may need to contact your employer or payroll provider to check or correct your information.

If your name has changed, or you're still having issues, reach out to a live agent via chat or email at support@zayzoon.com and with documentation that reflects your name change.
