During sign-up on Raenest, you’ll be asked to verify your identity by uploading a government-issued photo ID. While we accept various forms of ID such as a driver’s licence, NIN card, or national ID, we strongly recommend using your international passport.
Here’s why:
1. Globally Recognised
Your international passport is one of the most widely accepted identity documents across the world. It confirms both your identity and your nationality, making it ideal for verifying users in different countries especially when your country of residence differs from your country of origin.
2. Accurate and Complete Information
The data page of your international passport includes all the key details needed for verification in one place:
Full name
Date of birth
Nationality
Photograph
Document number and expiry date
This makes it easy for us to verify your identity clearly and without confusion or missing fields.
3. Meets International Standards
International passports are designed to meet strict global standards for identity documentation. This level of compliance is crucial, especially on a platform like Raenest that enables cross-border payments and transactions. Using a passport helps us keep your verification seamless and aligned with international regulatory requirements.
What to upload
When verifying your identity with a passport:
Upload a clear scan of the data page (the page with your photo and personal details)
Make sure all details are visible and not blurred or cropped
Using your passport helps speed up the verification process and reduces the chances of rejection due to unclear or incomplete information.
