Common mistakes that slow verification
The most common KYC mistakes are simple: cropped files, poor lighting, old proof-of-address documents, mismatched names, payment methods that do not clearly belong to the user, and repeated uploads without reading the rejection reason. Before submitting again, compare the request against the exact document you plan to upload.
