Recently, in the Nigerian crypto community, Pi Network is really booming, and many people around me are mining Pi.

But I’ve heard the most annoying thing is doing the Pi KYC verification—some people have waited several months with no result, and others have been rejected multiple times.
I’ve gone through this process myself, and honestly, it’s not that complicated; the key is to prepare the documents and be patient.

To be honest, the entire Pi KYC process looks complicated, but it can actually be done in about ten minutes.
First, you need to meet the basic requirements: be at least 18 years old, have a government-issued ID (a passport is best, but a national ID or driver’s license works too), have mined at least 30 days of Pi, and have a clear face photo that can be recognized.
I recommend using a passport or international passport; if you’re in Nigeria, you can use your NIN.

So, how exactly do you do it?
Download the Pi browser app, go to the mainnet section, and complete each task on the checklist one by one, then finally submit your KYC application.
Choose your country, upload photos of your ID (both front and back, clear images), then fill out the form with your name, birthday, ID number, and so on.
Finally, do a live face check—make sure the lighting is good and your face is clear.

After submitting, you just have to wait, and this really varies from person to person.
Some get approved in minutes, while others wait a long time—mainly depending on whether your information is accurate and how many verifiers are in your country.
The system will show progress: either a green checkmark indicating approval or a spinning circle waiting.
If your Pi KYC has been pending for over a month, you might want to check if there are reliable solutions in the community.

Also, a quick note: the verification is reviewed by two or more people in your country who have already passed KYC, ensuring the process’s accuracy.
The fee is 1 Pi coin, which is a reward for the verifiers.
Overall, as long as your documents are complete and your photos are clear, the Pi KYC process is quite smooth.
Don’t be scared by delays—just be well-prepared, and you’ll be fine!
