# Why is my ID verification taking so long? We use a 3rd party provider to perform Identity verification. They are more specialized in US IDs. For international investors, if you have a passport, please use it for your KYC process instead of a Driver’s License or local ID. This is because not all IDs share the same format, some country’s Driver’s Licenses don’t have expiration dates, which will confuse the automated software. Whereas most Passport formats are standardized even if they're from different countries. In order to comply with US regulators at both the federal and state levels, we have to reject all IDs that are not clear or in good quality where information can easily be verified by a human. If your account creation was rejected multiple times please try to take higher quality photos or use your Passport instead. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
