Verify my identity and unlock payouts
ID verification is required before you can receive your first payout. It takes 24-48 hours and gives you a trust badge.
The ✅ verified identity badge triples your chances of being shortlisted and is mandatory to withdraw via Mobile Money.
Accepted IDs (one is enough):
- National ID card — front + back
- Passport — photo page only
- Consular card (diaspora) — front + back
- Driver's license (accepted in some countries)
Documents must be:
- Readable, not blurry, not cropped on key info
- Valid (not expired)
- In JPG, PNG or PDF format (max 5 MB per file)
Under Settings → Verification:
- Pick the document type
- Click Upload front, then Upload back (if applicable)
- Take a webcam selfie to prove the document is yours
- Click Submit for verification
Your documents are stored encrypted and are only accessible to Meyandy moderators.
Standard time: 24 to 48 business hours (excluding weekends). Meanwhile, your profile shows a Verification in progress status.
You'll get an email + notification with:
- ✅ Approved → green badge shown on your profile immediately
- Attention More info needed → a message explains what to resubmit
- Refuse Rejected → detailed reason (rare, usually for unreadable docs)
If rejected, you can resubmit after fixing, with no limit.
Once verified:
- Mobile Money payouts unlocked (no payout without verification)
- Green badge ✅ shown on your talent card and public profile
- +20% profile completeness (migration 101)
- Improved AI score: you rank higher in applications
The badge is permanent as long as the document hasn't expired. If your ID nears expiry, you're alerted 30 days ahead.
Attention Fraud: NEVER submit someone else's document. Any document-fraud attempt leads to permanent account suspension + freezing of in-flight funds.
