Activating Know Your Customer (KYC) verification in the Pi Network is a crucial step for transferring your Pi coins to the Mainnet and fully participating in the ecosystem. The process primarily takes place within the Pi Browser app and involves several straightforward steps to confirm your identity.
Steps to Activate Your KYC in Pi Network
To successfully activate and complete your KYC application, follow these steps in sequence:
-
Install the Pi Browser App: Your KYC application and all related activities occur within the dedicated Pi Browser. Ensure you have this app downloaded and installed on your mobile device. It's distinct from the main Pi mining app.
-
Navigate to the Mainnet Section: Once in the Pi Browser, locate and access the "Mainnet" section. This area is central to managing your Pi journey, including your wallet and KYC status.
-
Complete Mainnet Checklist Tasks: Before you can apply for KYC, you must fulfill certain tasks within the Mainnet Checklist. These usually involve confirming your Pi wallet and other foundational steps necessary for migration. Ensure all previous items on this checklist are marked as complete.
-
Initiate Your KYC Application: After completing the Mainnet Checklist, you will find an option to "Proceed with KYC Application." Tap on this to begin the identity verification process.
-
Select Your Country: The application will prompt you to choose your country of residence from a dropdown list. This selection is important as it determines the valid identification documents accepted.
-
Choose Your Identification Document: You will then need to select the type of government-issued identification document you intend to use for verification. Common options include a national ID card, passport, or driver's license.
-
Follow ID Document Instructions: The application will provide specific instructions tailored to the document you selected. These instructions are vital for ensuring your document is presented correctly for verification. Pay close attention to details like background, lighting, and document placement.
-
Capture ID Photos: The final step involves taking clear, well-lit photos of your chosen identification document. You may be required to take photos of both the front and back, as well as a live selfie to match your face with the document. Ensure the text and photos on your ID are perfectly legible in the captured images.
By diligently following these steps, you can successfully submit your KYC application within the Pi Network, paving the way for full participation in the Mainnet.
