Current Identification Requirements and Future Plans for KYC Verification at Legion

Legion’s KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process ensures compliance with regulations and safeguards user accounts. Below, you'll find important details about the current identification requirements, alternatives for users without acceptable forms of ID, and planned future updates.

Current Acceptable Forms of Identification

To complete KYC verification, Legion currently accepts the following government-issued identification documents:

A Machine-Readable ID is a document equipped with text that can be scanned by verification devices, ensuring reliable authentication. Examples include:

Passport Submission for KYC Verification

When submitting a passport, ensure that it is the original physical document with a machine-readable zone (MRZ). Take a photo of it under good lighting and against a flat surface to ensure the image is clear and detailed.

Machine Readable International Passport (physical copy only)
Voter Identification Card
Driver's License

Please note that digital representations or scanned copies displayed on screens are not sufficient for KYC processing. These include photographs taken of passports displayed on computer screens or with significant glare, and copies that are blurry or obstruct crucial information.

If you possess one of these forms of ID, you can proceed with the KYC process smoothly. However, these requirements are in place due to government regulatory standards, and deviations are currently not permitted.

In some jurisdictions, only international passports are accepted due to heightened security needs and regulatory compliance standards. This helps minimize risks such as identity fraud and ensures a standard verification process. If you're unsure, ask our assistant Lee Jun through our web chat and you will be informed what documents are acceptable for your country of citizenship.

Passport Submission Overview

Follow these steps for successful passport submission: prepare a valid passport in good condition, take a clear photo as instructed by the KYC portal, and ensure all details including MRZ are visible. If submission fails, consult troubleshooting tips or reach out for support.

For Users Without Acceptable Forms of ID

Common Submission Mistakes

Avoid submitting low-quality photos, partial passport images, or digital copies of your passport as this leads to rejection. Ensure good lighting and clarity for all submissions.

If you do not have access to any of the accepted forms of identification, KYC verification cannot be completed at this time. Unfortunately, compliance with government regulations strictly limits the forms of ID that can be accepted. Please ensure that you obtain one of the accepted documents to initiate or complete the KYC process.

If your jurisdiction mandates the use of an international passport, consider consulting local governmental resources to understand the process for obtaining one. Ensure that the passport is machine-readable and available as a physical copy for submission.

Future Plans for Expanding Identification Options

Legion understands the challenges some users may face in meeting these identification requirements. To address this, Legion is actively working to expand the list of acceptable forms of identification. Current efforts include testing new forms of ID to ensure they meet security standards and prevent fraudulent activity. Pending successful results from these tests, Legion plans to introduce additional ID options in the future. Exact timelines and details of these updates will be shared as soon as they are finalized. Stay tuned for announcements through official Legion communication channels.
