Many Pi Network users wonder how to complete the identity verification process. If you're thinking about doing your Pi KYC, here’s what you need to know. First, the basic requirements: you must be 18 years or older, have mined Pi for at least 30 days, possess a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID card), and a clear photo of your face for verification. The entire process takes between 5 to 10 minutes. To start, open the Pi Network app and go to the Mainnet section from the side menu. Complete all tasks on the verification checklist until you reach 'Submit your KYC application.' Once the KYC tab is unlocked, select your country and the type of document you will use (passport is recommended). Then, take a clear photo of the front of your ID, and if there is important information on the back, include that as well. Next, fill out a form with your details: first name, last name, gender, date of birth, document number, and expiration date. The final step is the liveness verification, where you must hold the camera in front of your face to confirm you are a real person. After submitting your application, the approval time varies. Some users report verification within minutes if they provide accurate information, but others wait days or even months. The Pi KYC system works with validators who have already completed the process and review new applications. If your document is unclear or missing details, they will ask you to resend it. To check the status, review your profile in the app: a green checkmark means approved, a loading animation means pending. Keep in mind that there is a cost of 1 Pi paid to validators for processing your application.
