So, a lot of people are struggling with Pi KYC right now. I've seen quite a few Pi network miners waiting for months, some even got rejected. It's true that the process can be frustrating, but honestly, if you follow the steps carefully, it should take about 10 minutes.

First, you need to meet the basic criteria: be at least 18 years old, have a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, or ID card), and you must have mined for at least 30 days. It's also important that your photo is clear and your face is recognizable.

To start, download the Pi Browser app, go to the Mainnet section, and complete the checklist until you reach the Pi KYC submission task. Once it's unlocked, access the kyc.pi area. Select your country, then choose the type of document (passport is recommended). After that, you need to take clear photos of your document, fill out the form with your personal information, and finally do a facial verification, making sure you're well-lit.

The thing is, Pi KYC approval can vary greatly. It can take a few minutes or several months, depending on the quality of your info and the availability of validators in your country. Two verified users must approve your request. The process costs 1 Pi, which goes to the validators.

If you've been waiting for months, there are some tips that certain users recommend. I suggest checking your status in your profile or in the Mainnet checklist. A green checkmark or a green tab means it's validated. Otherwise, you can always look for advice from experienced users who have successfully completed their Pi KYC. Waiting is annoying, but most people eventually get it sorted out.
