In order to receive VERA tokens from the Verasity token sale, airdrop, or bounty program you will need to pass KYC (“Know Your Customer”).

Please note:

Verasity does not store your personal data. All personal data is processed and stored securely and safely by our partner, Sum And Substance Ltd (https://www.sumsub.com), in accordance with all regulatory requirements from all countries.

Initial identity verification is fully automated and should only take about 10 minutes (often even less).

However, due to a number of reasons your submission might be flagged for a manual review.

In this case a manual identity verification is carried out which might take up to 48 hours.

Note: Feel free to contact us as support@verasity.io if feel that your identity verification is taking too long.

This guide explains how you can pass Verasity Token Sale KYC in 10 minutes or less.

1) Prepare your identification

In order to pass KYC you will be asked to upload a copy of your identification document.

Your identification document must be:

  • International Travel passport
  • National ID card
  • Driving license

Take your supported identification document and take a high-quality image of the page with a camera, the camera on your phone, or using your webcam.

Important:

  • All corners of the document should be visible in the photo
  • The text in the document should be easy to read. Make sure there are no highlights and stains on the photo. Low quality pictures won’t be accepted by the system
  • If your document has two pages or two sides (for example, a US ID-card or a CIS passport), both sides / pages must be attached
  • The document must be valid for at least a month. An expired document won’t be validated
  • The system doesn’t accept documents corrected in the graphic editors
  • We accept JPEG or PDF files no less than 500 KB
  • The document should be in the Latin alphabet. The system doesn’t accept hieroglyphs and ligature

2) Prepare a selfie picture with your document

In order to pass KYC you will need to upload a selfie whilst holding your ID document. This is to confirm that you are the holder of this ID document.

  • Take a high-quality image of your face with a photo camera, camera on your phone or on your laptop. Your face should be visible on the selfie, and on the photo in the document, so that the algorithm can correctly identify the features.

Important:

  • Your face should be visible on the selfie, and on the photo in the document, so that the algorithm can correctly identify the features.
  • The photo must be of a decent quality, so that the text on the document is readable

Other requirements:

  • File type: JPG, PDF
  • File size: No less than 500 KB

The selfie photo you upload will be used to automatically compare to the photo in your identification document in order to confirm that you are the holder of this ID document.

If the two don’t match, your KYC submission will be rejected, and you will not be able to re-submit it using your own selfie photo.

3) Save both a copy of your identification document and your selfie on the device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) which you will use to do Verasity KYC.

4) Navigate to https://verasity.io/sale/sign-in and follow the on-screen instructions to sign in.

5) Once you are on the KYC (Know Your Customer) step:

  • Read the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy — if you agree to both documents confirm by ticking both checkboxes and click “Proceed”
  • Enter your basic identity information as it appears on the identification document you plan to upload

6) Select the country where your identification was issued.

7) Choose the ID type you wish to upload:

8) Upload the images of your documentation:

9) Upload the selfie of you holding your ID

10) Upon successful upload of your selfie picture you should see the following screen:

Our KYC provider (Sum And Substance) is now checking the identity (and matching your face in the selfie with the photo in the ID).

You can now either close the browser, navigate away from the page, sign out, or stay on the page and wait for the page to be updated with the identity check results.

You will receive an email when your identity verification is completed (in case of success or rejection).

Initial identity verification is fully automated and should only take about 10 minutes (often even less).

However, due to a number of reasons your submission might be flagged for a manual review. In this case a manual identity verification is carried out which might take up to 48 hours.

You will receive an email confirming whether your KYC application was successful or whether there was a problem or failure.

Note: If 48-hours has passed — feel free to contact us at support@verasity.io.

Re-passing KYC in case of rejection:

If your KYC submission was rejected and you believe that all the information you provided is correct and accurate or you made a genuine mistake in your original submission, please contact support@verasity.io.

This can be done only once, so make sure to follow the above instructions to get it right.
