What is a self-certified ID (SCID)?

Used to confirm your identity, this is a picture of you holding one of the following IDs next to your face:

  • Driver's License
  • Passport
  • Government-issued photo ID

Important: The SCID you upload must include a current ID and the entirety of the information on the ID must be viewable.  

For the best SCID: 

  • Your ID must be valid, not expired, and the entire ID must be in-frame.
  • Have great lighting from the front to ensure a high-quality picture.
  • Have your head and shoulders in the frame, similar to an ID photo.
  • Avoid sunglasses or hats, and don’t use any filters.

Learn more by watching the video about uploading a valid SCID.

What is considered proof of residence?

Used to confirm your current residence, acceptable documents include:

  • Utility invoices
    • Example: Home services for energy, water/sewer, gas, or trash.
  •  Communications invoices
    • Example: Home services for phone, internet, cable, satellite, and mobile phones.
  • Bank statements
  • Leases with matching service and delivery addresses if dated within 60 days.

Important: Other document types will not be accepted as proof of residence.

Proof of residence documents need to show your:

  • Name
  • Current address
  • An invoice/customer/account number
  • A date within 60 days of the upload date

Do you have any additional document upload criteria?

  • We can’t accept expired or temporary IDs.
  • For identification uploads: scans, paper temporary IDs, Digital IDs, and PDFs aren't permitted.
  • For Proof of Residence uploads: screenshots, images of paper statements, and PDFs are permitted.
  • Uploaded images must be clearly visible and uploaded in full.
    • Important: Include all pages of a document that are not altered or redacted in any way, as this will void the document’s validity.
