In the photo ID check, our payment provider needs to validate an identity document to receive payouts.
Make sure that the name on the photo ID matches the name that you registered your account with. If the names are different—for example, if an account holder used their married name to register but their passport has their maiden name—the photo ID check will fail.
Provide one of the following documents for photo identification if necessary. The table shows the supported photo ID documents and the data that needs to be provided.
