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.

-
Communications invoices
- Example: Home services for phone, internet, cable, satellite, and mobile phones.
