Coinbase® help®|Coinbase Help Can Empower You

coinbase uses identity verification to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) laws and prevent fraudulent activity. KYC is a multi-step process that confirms the identity of customers. We collect necessary information mandated by law, such as verifying your identity and protecting you from potential fraudulent activity.

Identity verification is required for all Coinbase customers during sign-up and for existing customers. The process can include uploading pictures of your ID, taking a selfie, or recording a short selfie video. We may occasionally request additional details from some customer accounts to meet regulatory obligations.

Your Coinbase help account will have limited functionalities until the identity verification process is completed. Read more about Data Privacy at Coinbase and how Coinbase uses your information.
