    1. Here you need to confirm you have a working webcam. If you do not have a webcam, please download our mobile app.
    2. Have a read of our tips and ensure your name and date of birth are correct, as they appear on your ID document, and select 'Start Biometric Verification'.
    3. Select the type of document you wish to use. The most important thing here is to ensure you have the issuing country set correctly. You can select 'Choose issuing country' if the document you will use is from another country.
    4. 'Capture image'.
    5. Check all details from your document are clearly readable. Pay particular attention to document numbers and your date of birth. If you can clearly make out all details select 'Continue' otherwise select 'Capture new image' to try again.
    6. Once the document has been captured we will then ask you to take a selfie. Please note that this needs to be a 'live' image, we cannot accept a pre-saved photo of you.

    It is very important the image you take captures the document in its entirety and is not obscured by glare. Please also make sure you are the only person in the selfie.

    If for any reason, we are unable to verify your details one of our support team will get in touch to help you through the process.
