FAQ
What counts as "identity verification"?
Any service that requires you to prove your real identity — typically through government ID, passport, or official documents. Banks, healthcare, insurance, and government services almost always require this.
What if I'm not sure whether ID is required?
When in doubt, use your real details. It's better to be safe than to have an order or service blocked. You can always switch to Persona for future signups with that brand once you know it's safe.
