Why did my age or ID verification fail?

Common reasons verifications don’t go through—and how to fix them.

Updated yesterday

Age verification can fail for several common reasons:

  • Poor lighting or blurry selfie - Make sure you’re in a well-lit area

  • Incorrect positioning - Face the camera directly

  • Obstructed or unclear facial features - Ensure nothing is blocking your face

  • Using a photo of a photo - You must take a live selfie, not photograph an existing picture

  • Repeated verification attempts - Multiple attempts can sometimes cause issues

For the best results, take a clear, well-lit selfie while facing the camera directly. Make sure your facial features are clearly visible.
