Once complete please reply to this message so we can help you as soon as possible. In the event that you don't respond, your identity verification may be removed prior to issue resolution.

Please note that we'll only use your identification documents for identification verification purposes. These documents will be automatically removed approximately 2 weeks after being received. If this issue comes up again, we may require you to present this information again.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
