HOW TO SUBMIT KYC APPLICATION FOR PI NETWORK for KYC Verification

For clear reasons, KYC verification needs a few legal papers, and the candidate must meet certain requirements. Because of this, you need to know the following standards before you start the application process:

Conditions and requirements to apply for Pi Network KYC: 

  • You must be at least 18 years old
  • Government-issued ID: You must have the actual copy of one of the following government-issued papers on hand, as you will be asked to take a picture of the ID instead of sharing one you have already saved.
  • Passport (very important)
  • A license to drive
  • ID picture
  • Good Quality Camera: you will be asked to put the camera on your phone up to your face, and the system will take a picture. This picture will be needed to ensure you are the person whose ID was turned in. So, before you start the proof process, make sure your face is easily recognizable and matches the one on your ID.
  • Must have mined Pi for at least 30 days: For clear reasons, a new Pioneer can’t ask for KYC approval right away. They must mine Pi for at least 30 days, though those days don’t have to be in a row.
  • Approximately 5-10 minutes: Finishing the KYC form takes around 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: Pi KYC is open to everyone, but depending on your country or area, the qualifications, requirements, and access may differ from what is shown in this piece.

Steps to complete the Pi KYC verification process
  • First Step: You can get the Pi Browser app from Google Play and the Apple App Store. If you already have it on your computer, go to step 2.
  • Step 2: The second step is to open the Pi Network app and go to the Mainnet area. To get to Mainnet, look at the sidebar.
  • Step 3: Click the Mainnet checklist tab and finish all the tasks until you reach the “Submit your KYC Application” task. Read the full guide here.
  • As soon as you finish the tasks listed before the KYC verification, the tab for the KYC application will become available. To begin the application process, tap on it. If that doesn’t work, open the Pi Browser app and go to the “kyc. pi” place to start the application process by hand.
  • Step 5: After the Know Your Customer (KYC) process in the Pi Browser app, you will be asked to pick your country from a drop-down choice on the first screen. Choose the country that is written on your government-issued ID.
  • Step 6: The sixth step is to pick the type of ID you want to use for the proof. It’s best to have a passport.
  • Step 7: After this, four slides will tell you how to use the ID and move forward correctly. To better read, you should press the “Next” button.
  • Step 8: The eighth step is to find the “Add front photo” button on the screen. The camera will start up when you tap on it. Just take a clear picture of the front of your ID. If the ID has important information on the back, add a picture of the back.

Don’t forget to take or save the picture in a horizontal (landscape) orientation.

How much time does it take for KYC approval in Pi Network?

It could be days or even months before you hear back about your KYC application after you send it in. But sometimes, if you give correct information and enough person validators in your country or area, you can be verified in just a few minutes.

All that’s left to do is wait for this to happen with your application. It will either be accepted or turned down. If your document isn’t clear and the machine can’t read important parts of your ID, like your face, name, country, etc., you might be asked to take another picture of your ID or selfie.

How to check Pi Network KYC status?

You can visit your biography in the Pi Network app to see how your KYC application goes. The identity verification (KYC) label will have a green checkmark next to it, which means your KYC has been checked. The image you see while it loads means that your application has not yet been reviewed and is still waiting.

Another way to determine if you passed the KYC is to look at the Mainnet review part. Your KYC has been checked if the “Wait for KYC results” tab is green.

Note: Many pioneers say that their checklist tab did not turn green even after they were accepted. There might be something wrong with the Pi Network app. So, the Pi KYC app (on Pi Browser) is the best way to check the progress of your KYC application.

How does the Pi KYC application review process work?

There are so many people in the Pi community that it would be impossible for the Core Team to verify each Pioneer’s name. As a result, they created a KYC verification method where people who have already verified their KYC can help others do the same.

After your papers are sent incorrectly, the application is sent to someone who has already checked your KYC. The application is then sent to another person who has been KYC-checked after being looked over by the first person. You will pass the pi KYC if both validators agree with your application.

The validators will be people from your country, making the proof process much easier and faster. You will be charged 1 PI coin for your KYC application. This coin will be given to the validators as a payment.
