  • We use age-verification and identity-verification technology to verify every person who registers for an account. In order to create an account, you must be 18 or older and have a valid US address. If you meet these requirements but are still unable to pass our identify verification check, try the following recommendations:
    • Use your legal name. Usually, it is the name on your birth certificate, unless it was changed as a result of a marriage or court order. Using nicknames or shortened versions of legal names such as (Kathy instead of Kathleen) may not be recognized.
    • Include a middle initial only if you use one when signing legal documents. If you have a middle name on your driver's license, try including it.
    • Use a valid street address. if you use a PO Box, you can also give that a try.
    • Try "Street" or "St" instead of 'St.' or vice versa. Try using the address that appears on your driver's license.
    • Try variations with directional abbreviations. For example, try North Main Street, or N. Main St.

You may have trouble passing our verification check if you:

  • Have recently changed your name.
  • Have recently moved.
  • Do not have a public records under your name, such as a loan, utility bill, driver's license, etc.

Make sure your personal information is input correctly:

  • If after registration and failing identity verification you realize you have mistyped your personal information, you are able to login and correct the information and resubmit for identity verification up to 5 times.
  • If you haven’t made a mistake entering your information, you can securely upload documents for manual review to prove your identity by logging in to your account on the website, selecting KYC Upload Documents under My Account, and following the instructions.

It is not possible to set up an account if your age and identity cannot be verified. For various reasons some people may not be able to pass the verification process.
