It is a legal requirement for all platforms in this sector. Verification protects your account against fraud and prevents anyone else from using it without your authorization. It is fast, secure, and you only do it once.
A valid official identity document (such as INE/IFE or ID card, for example) and a selfie. The process takes less than 3 minutes.
