• 1. Make Sure Your ID Is Good Enough**

Coinbase likes these:

• Passport** (usually works best)✅ **Driver’s License**✅ **ID Card from the Gov**
• Nope**:
• Old IDs* IDs that are messed up or hard to read* Stuff that's not from the government (like a student ID)
• What to Do:**
• Use a **good, new ID**.* Make sure your **name is exactly the same** as what's on Coinbase.* No shiny spots or shadows in the photo.
• 2. Take a Better Photo**

If they didn't like your photo:

• Find a bright spot** (the sun is your friend).✔ **Put your ID on something dark** so you can see it better.✔ **Don't cover anything** with your fingers.✔ **Use the best camera** you can.
