How to Verify Your ID Card

ID verification is the second identity check on Snapiro. You need it, together with BVN verification, to send crypto to an external wallet. You must verify your BVN first.

Accepted IDs

  • National ID (NIN)
  • International passport
  • Driver’s licence

Voter’s cards are not accepted for this check.

Before you start

  • Have the ID with you, and make sure it has not expired.
  • Take clear photos of the front and back in good light, with all four corners visible and no glare over the text.
  • The name on the ID must match your account name, which comes from your BVN.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings, View Profile, Account Verification, then ID Card Verification.
  2. Read the checklist and tap Continue.
  3. Under Select an ID, choose National ID, Int’l Passport or Drivers License.
  4. Enter the ID Number exactly as printed.
  5. Upload the Front and Back images. Both are required.
  6. Tap Submit. You will see “Id Verified Successfully”.

If it fails

  • Kindly verify your BVN: complete BVN verification first.
  • Id Data does not match your account name: see what to do about a name mismatch.
  • ID Number is required: the ID number box is empty.
  • If nothing happens when you tap Submit, check that both the front and back images are uploaded.

Your next trade takes three taps.
