Why was my proof of identity rejected?

Last updated: 12 August 2026

Here are a few common reasons why your proof of identity may have been rejected by our verification team:

  • Name mismatch – The document does not match the name registered with us.
  • Expired document – The document provided has passed its expiry date.
  • Incomplete document – The document is cropped, missing key details, or incomplete.
  • Black-and-white copy – For clarity and authenticity, we only accept colour copies.
  • Missing the back – For documents like ID cards or residence permits, both sides must be submitted.
  • Screenshots – We do not accept screenshots of documents.
  • Document used as proof of address – Separate documents are required for proof of identity and proof of address.
