    Which document can be used as proof of identity and how to start the verification process?

    The only documents that are accepted for the verification are a passport or a national ID card. Other types of documents such as driver’s license, residence permit, etc. are not accepted and will be declined.

    The document must be valid, not tampered with, and not covered with any stickers. Your picture, name, surname, and other information must be clear and readable.

    Once you will finish registering, the verification step will appear automatically on your profile. The process is very simple and takes up to 10 minutes. You will be asked to take a real-time photo of your document and take a selfie.

      My verification was declined and I cannot try again, can you verify me manually?

      Unfortunately, no, as the verification process is fully automated.

      If your verification was declined and you cannot try again, please reach out to our Client Support for more information.

        My document is valid but my verification was declined, why?

        Make sure that you are taking a real-time photo (not scanned or opened on a computer/phone) of your passport or a national ID card, as these are the only documents that are accepted for the identification.

                  How to set up the two-factor authenticator (2FA)?

                  To activate:

                  • Go to personal settings on your account
                  • Enable the ‘Two-factor authentication’
                  • Open the Authenticator app on your phone, select the option ‘+’ to add a new account, and scan the QR code from the PeerBerry page
                  • Insert the 6-digit verification code from the app and press ‘Enable’
                  • Confirm the modifications by pressing ‘Save changes’ in your settings

                  To de-activate:

                  • Go to personal settings on your account
                  • Disable the ‘Two-factor authentication’
                  • Open the Authenticator app, copy the 6-digit verification code, insert it in the PeerBerry page, and press ‘Disable’
                  • Confirm the modifications by pressing ‘Save changes’ in your settings

                  Logging in via a Google/Apple account works as an additional verification, therefore, a 2FA code is not requested.
