Genchimaru Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Not sure why you would need to bypass this, sounds extremely shady. Skrill also requires proof of address and identification. At least it did so for me, I live in Colorado, USA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, Would 'Government Identification' mean just the License? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genchimaru Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) So you would recommend sending my details to Paypal? I just don't like sending my details online that's all. If so, Would 'Government Identification' mean just the License? Definitely recommend it, such a hindrance if you aren't verified on PayPal. Understandable, but this is NOT a new service. PayPal has been around for a long time, large enough that they're not going to do anything even remotely close to breaking privacy policies. Just make sure your password is different than your normal one if you generally use the same password. Make a separate email if you're very concerned. Add two step authentication to said email. A Drivers License will do just fine. I'm sure Google could provide more answers then I could for acceptable documents for verification. All the edits, I hate you autocorrect Edited May 12, 2015 by Genchimaru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way to bypass this as your account has been randomly selected for CIP verficiation; this is actually a goverment mandated requirement by PayPal to collect this information. If you create another account you will run into the same issue sooner or later. For proof of name, and address our driver liscense or ID will suffice just upload it twice. You may also upload your social to prevent any occurences down the line. As far as security goes, your information is secure with PayPal even if your account is compromised the information you upload isn't viewable. PayPal has been in business since 1999 and never had a database breach, and as an employee I can speak for the amount of security that goes into place.

Khaleesi Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's for anti-money laundering ... Had the same issue. Send them copy of ID and some proof where you life, a bill where your adress is visible should be fine. I waited 1 month, nothing had changed. I contacted the service and they fixed it almost instantly Goodluck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaleesi Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Did you just contact by email? I might catch up on it after the 48hours has been passed. Ya I waited for about a month after I send them my details. After a month I mailed the customer service and explained it. They replied to me within 24 hours and fixed the issue ^^ Khaleesi Edited May 13, 2015 by Khaleesi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replied to me within 24 hours and fixed the issue ^^ Khaleesi I just called them to ask how long it will take. After spending 15 F****** minutes on the phone listening to an instrumental 'Rick Roll' I was told it is set for review 12hours ago and it will take anywhere between now and another 60hours. He was really helpful and nice. TzTok Jad, can you please change that phone music to something good please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TzTok Jad Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah once the documents have been submitted for review it does take 24-72 hours in some cases even longer. If you call customer service (don't email) they can submit a ticket to have your information reviewed quicker. (Typically within the next 24 hrs).
