Whether you’re a Vouchsafe user or referee, we may ask you to take a video selfie to help verify your identity.

Why we need a video selfie

A video selfie is one of the best ways for us to confirm your identity. It helps us:

• Confirm you’re a real person
• Prevent identity fraud by verifying you’re the same person as shown in in your photo ID
• Comply with regulations which may be needed by the organisation you’re identifying your identity to

Tips to for successful video selfies 📌

• Take the selfie somewhere with good lighting — not too dark, but not too bright 💡
• Don’t take the selfie with strong lighting behind you
• Position the device in front of your face, so that it nearly fills the oval
• Keep the device and your face still once the scan begins 🗽
• Turn your screen brightness all the way up
