Uploading Your Government-Issued ID for Verification

Last updated: November 22, 2025

Frame Payments requires users to verify their identity by uploading a government-issued photo ID through the Frame Dashboard. This process ensures compliance with our banking partners and helps protect your account from unauthorized access.


For your privacy and security, Frame only accepts verification documents uploaded directly through the Frame Dashboard.

What You’ll Need

  • A valid, US government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, or passport)

  • The ID must not be expired, redacted, altered, or damaged

  • All edges must be visible

  • The image must be in color and saved as .jpg or .png format


Taking the Photo

For the best results:

  • Use your mobile phone’s camera (it typically provides higher quality than a webcam)

  • Capture a clear, well-lit image with no glare or shadows

  • Hold the camera steady and allow it to focus before capturing

  • Avoid blocking any part of your ID or face

  • Remove sunglasses, masks, or hats

  • Use soft, ambient lighting—avoid direct sunlight or harsh overhead lights

A high-quality photo greatly increases your chance of being successfully verified on the first attempt.


Troubleshooting

If the verification link isn’t working

  • Restart your browser

  • Clear your browser cache

  • Try a different browser

If you don't have or can't use your webcam

  • Click "Continue on another device"

    • Scan the QR code using your phones camera

    • Receive an email to complete verification on another device

If your photo was rejected

  • Ensure you’re lit from the front, not the back

  • Confirm no fingers or reflections cover any part of your ID

  • Place your ID on a flat surface in a well-lit room
