Wefunder takes the identity verification process very seriously to protect our investors and company from fraud.
We are required to verify your identity. You can do this by logging into your account settings, clicking Investor Limits, and then clicking “Verify.”
You have three ways to verify your identity: SSN, Driver's License, or Document Upload. When entering information, be sure to enter it carefully and use your legally recorded information.
When uploading documents, accepted document types vary by region, but the identity document you submit must be currently valid, not expired and in the English language. If you are having an issue verifying your identification, we suggest that you try submitting a different picture of your ID or a different type of ID. We suggest that you upload a standard issued visa or Passport. Some forms of ID may not be supported.
IDs are often rejected because the image submitted is either blurry, has a glare, or the picture is cut off (all four corners must be shown in the picture). For passports, make sure you send a picture of the entire passport (top and bottom).
When you apply for verification, you'll see the following after submitting:
Once you are approved, the page will change to the notice below. Note: If you apply using your SSN or Driver's License, it will be approved within 30 seconds if all information matches.
