Identity Check Troubleshooting

Although uncommon, an identity check can fail once you complete the process and submit your information. Some of the reasons a submission can fail are:

  • An expired ID
  • A damaged ID (cracks or rips)
  • Dark or blurry photos
  • Photos with too much glare
  • Moved countries (the country on your ID address should be the same as the country where you are living)

Please note: If you're unsuccessful in your first attempt at the identity check you have four attempts at the process.

Unsuccessful Identity Check

If your identity check is marked Unsuccessful, you have 4 attempts to complete this process. Just head to the Security section of your Dapper account and you can start the flow again.

Here are a few important tips to help make sure your identity check is processed and verified:

  • If you’re submitting your driver's license or ID card, take a photo of both the front and the back of your ID in a well-lit area, free of any glare.
  • Make sure that your ID is in focus and fully visible for the photo.
  • When taking your selfie, remain still until your photo is captured and displayed on the screen.  There is a slight lag between the camera reading your face and capturing your image. If you move, the photo will come out blurry. Please remove any objects covering your face (glasses, hat, etc).
  • If you’re using the mobile option, please note that on iOS only the Safari browser is supported. If you’re using Android, most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) will work.
  • Make sure the ID you are using is valid, not damaged, and has not expired.
  • Make sure the address provided matches the address that is on the ID, if you have recently moved this may cause an issue.
  • Please make sure that the correct issuing country and document type are selected for your ID. You can check out the accepted forms of identification here.
