Please help us verify your ID by providing a government-issued, photo ID like a passport or driver's license. This ID must:

If you don’t have an ID that shows your authentic name as well as your photo or date of birth, you can provide 2 forms of ID from the options above, and then provide a government ID that includes a date of birth or photo that matches the information on your profile. We won't add the name or other information from the government ID to your account.
