When wanting to buy or sell cryptocurrency online, most reputable platforms will ask that you complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) process. Many countries have put into place these regulations to help combat money laundering, terrorist funding, and other criminal activities. The KYC process is universal and ensures that all parties are who they say they are. Let’s uncover how to pass KYC on Oobit.

How to pass identity verification (KYC)
You’ll need to register an account if you haven’t done so already. From here, keep your KYC documents (identification documents) handy and let’s dive in!
Step 1:
First you’ll need to verify your email address with a code sent directly to your inbox. Once you’ve entered the code, you’ll need to fill in your first and last name, as well as date of birth. Note: these need to be as per your identity document/passport.
After that you’ll need to enter your phone number, to which a verification code will be sent. You have one minute to enter the code and verify your number before the code expires.
Step 2:
Once you’re in, click on the drop down option next to your profile picture in the upper right hand corner and select Settings. Next, select Start Now where it says Get Verified and Unlock Features.
Step 3:
In completing Level 1 KYC you’ll need to have your government ID or passport nearby. The first step will be to read and check the boxes and select Next.
You will then need to complete the form with all your information. Ensure that the information you enter matches your identity documents. When complete click Next.
Step 4:
Here you’ll need your identification document. You’re given an option of uploading images of your passport, residence permit or identity card. Select your preferred option and upload the photos required, ensuring that all the pointers are followed. You also have the option of switching to mobile, if you opt to do this you can copy the link or scan the QR code.
Step 5:
You’ll need to submit a photo of yourself for the system to match to the identity document you provided. Don’t worry, this is integrated into the process, so all you need to do is allow Oobit access to your camera and you can take the photo with your device (should it not have a camera you will need to upload a photo).
After the Selfie, you will be asked to review the information submitted, after which the system will check your data.
Congratulations! You have been successfully verified.
