Verify your Identity Documents

Overview​

1Kosmos' identity verification process is quick and easy, allowing our users to enroll their identity documents in a streamlined fashion. These identity documents include Driver's Licenses, Passports, ID cards, and Social Security Numbers (SSN). When users enroll these documents into their identity wallet, details such as name and address, are also validated. Additionally, users can also take a selfie during this process, both for a liveness check and to match the real-time individual with the person displayed on the identity document.

To verify users' identities, their mobile phones must be in a working state and able to receive SMS messages.
