Most verifications are completed within 24 hours of document submission. In some cases, it may take up to 48 hours if additional review is needed. You'll receive an email notification once your verification status changes.
If your verification is rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason (e.g., blurry photo, mismatched information). You can resubmit your documents immediately from your dashboard. Most rejections are resolved with clearer document photos.
