The ID scan step confirms your identity using a valid, government-issued photo ID.


Tips for a Successful ID Scan:

  • Use a valid, institution-approved photo ID

  • Hold the ID steadily within the on-screen outline

  • Make sure all text and your photo are clearly visible

  • Avoid covering any part of the ID with your fingers

  • Use the Rotate ID Outline button if needed to align your ID properly

Pro Tip: If the text appears blurry, slowly move the ID closer to the webcam until it becomes sharp and readable.


⚠️ Common Reasons for ID Scan Failure:

  • Blurry or low-light images

  • Text or photo blocked by fingers

  • ID held too far from the webcam

  • Expired or unapproved ID

You can retake your ID scan as many times as needed to ensure clarity before submitting.

⚠️If your ID has expired, please obtain a current, valid ID before proceeding with onboarding. Contact your institution for guidance on acceptable forms of identification and to explore alternative options.

⚠️Here are some INVALID SCANS:

1. Bad lighting 



2. Text covered with fingers and text illegible



3. ID held it too far




4. Hands are shaky, so the photo might come out blurry
