If you are having trouble verifying your identity with the KYC process on on Step 4, here are some suggestions to help resolve the issue:

1. Check Your Document Quality

  • Ensure your ID is clear, undamaged, and unexpired.
  • Use a well-lit environment to avoid glare and shadows.
  • Hold the ID steady and within the frame during capture.
  • Avoid blurry or cropped images.

2. Use a Supported ID Type

  • Check that you’re using an accepted form of identification (e.g., passport, driver’s license, or government-issued ID).
  • Some platforms may require a specific type of ID—confirm with Persona’s instructions.

3. Match the Selfie to Your ID

  • Make sure your face is fully visible in the selfie.
  • Avoid hats, glasses, or masks that might obscure your features.
  • Keep a neutral expression and look directly at the camera.

4. Use a Stable Internet Connection

  • A slow or unstable internet connection can cause upload failures.
  • Switch to a Wi-Fi network if using mobile data.

5. Try a Different Device or Browser

  • If the verification fails, try using a different smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • Use an updated web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

6. Double-Check Your Personal Information

  • Ensure your name, date of birth, and address match exactly with the details on your ID.
  • Avoid using nicknames or shortened versions of your name.

7. Enable Camera and File Permissions

  • If using a phone, ensure that camera and file upload permissions are enabled.
  • On iPhone: Go to Settings → Safari → Camera & Microphone Access and allow.
  • On Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Browser App → Permissions and allow.

8. Restart the Process if Needed

  • If you received an error, restart the verification process and clear your browser’s cache before trying again.
