How to Verify Your Coinbase Account on the Mobile App

Verifying your Coinbase account on the mobile app is a crucial step to ensure security and unlock all the features of the platform. Here’s a detailed guide on how to complete the verification process:

1. Download and Open the Coinbase App

• Start by downloading the Coinbase app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
• Once installed, open the app and log in using your existing credentials. If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to sign up first.

2. Access Your Profile Settings

• After logging in, tap on the profile icon or the menu button, usually found in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Navigate to "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the menu.

3. Start the Verification Process

• In the settings menu, find and select the option for "Verify Account" or "Identity Verification." This is typically under the "Security" or "Account" section.
• You may be prompted to enter additional details like your phone number for two-factor authentication (2FA).

4. Provide Personal Information

• Enter your full legal name, date of birth, and address. Make sure this information matches the details on your official ID to avoid any discrepancies.

5. Submit Your Identification Documents

• You’ll need to upload clear images of your identification documents. Coinbase accepts various forms of ID, including passports, driver’s licenses, and national ID cards.
• Ensure that the images are high-quality and all information is clearly visible. Follow the app’s instructions for capturing and uploading your documents.

6. Verify Your Phone Number

• Coinbase may ask you to verify your phone number by sending a text message with a verification code.
• Enter the code into the app to confirm your phone number.

7. Complete the Facial Recognition (if required)

• Some verification processes might include a facial recognition step. Follow the on-screen instructions to take a selfie or video for identity verification.

8. Wait for Verification Confirmation

• After submitting all necessary documents and information, you’ll need to wait for Coinbase to review and approve your submission.
• This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, depending on the volume of verification requests and the complexity of your submission.

9. Check Your Verification Status

• You can check the status of your verification by returning to the "Settings" or "Account Settings" section of the app.
• Once verified, you will receive a notification, and your account will be upgraded to access additional features and higher withdrawal limits.

10. Troubleshoot Common Issues

• If you encounter issues during verification, such as problems with uploading documents or receiving verification codes, consult Coinbase’s help center or support team for assistance.
• Ensure that you have a stable internet connection and that all information provided is accurate and up-to-date.

Following these steps will help you successfully verify your Coinbase account on the mobile app, ensuring that your account is secure and ready for use.
