Tips for uploading a Selfie
Securitize iD does not require a Selfie, but there may be instances where Securitize has requested a Selfie such as:
- Inability to complete the Liveness check
- Password reset
- 2-factor authentication reset
Below you will find instructions on what we need in order to prove your ID ownership.
Stay In Focus
If you are asked to take a photo of yourself holding your proof of identity and (possibly) a piece of paper with the current date, first of all, make sure that your ID, date, and face are fully visible and in focus.
Here are a few simple tips that can help:
- Avoid dark rooms and strong background light
- Go for a smartphone camera and not a webcam, if you can choose
- Clean the camera’s lens
- Take a photo with a steady hand or use a tripod
Be Yourself
Use the ID documents in which you resemble your current self the most.
Remove hats, headphones, glasses, and other things that can make you harder to recognize.
One Hand - One Piece
If you are required to take a photo of yourself holding the proof of identity and a piece of paper with the current date, please hold each by the corner making the data perfectly visible. Don’t let the documents overlap.
