Identity Verification (KYC) and Tax Form Issues

KYC Verification

Why Is It Required?KYC (Know Your Customer) is a legal requirement for platforms that process financial transactions. It prevents fraud and ensures compliance. You only need to verify once.


What You Need

  • A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)
  • Your device's camera for a selfie/liveness check

How to Complete It

  1. Go to Profile > KYC Center
  2. Tap "Start Verification"
  3. Scan your ID following the on-screen instructions
  4. Take a selfie for the liveness check
  5. Results are typically available in seconds

Verification Failed?

  • Ensure your ID is valid and not expired
  • Make sure the photo is clear and well-lit
  • Hold your ID steady during scanning
  • Use a well-lit room for the selfie
  • Try again if the first attempt fails
  • If you've been banned before your KYC will be automatically rejected
  • If you have another account your KYC will be automatically rejected

Common KYC and Tax Issues

KYC keeps failing:

  • Clean your camera lens before scanning your ID
  • Use a flat, well-lit surface for your ID
  • Avoid glare on the ID surface
  • Hold your device steady during scanning
  • Ensure your ID is not expired
  • Remove any ID holder or sleeve that might obscure text or photos
  • If you've been banned before your KYC will be automatically rejected
  • If you have another account your KYC will be automatically rejected

Wrong tax form submitted:
  • Contact team@kled.ai to request a form change
  • You may need to resubmit with the correct form type

I live in the US but submitted a W-8BEN (or vice versa):

  • Contact team@kled.ai immediately to correct the form
  • Cash outs may be blocked until the correct form is on file
