KYC Verification

What is KYC Verification?

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a security process that confirms your identity. At AMP, we use Stripe Identity to verify users quickly and securely.

Why is KYC Required?

Identity verification is necessary for:

• DMCA Takedown Requests: Legal takedowns require verified identity
• Legal Protection: Establishes you as the legitimate content owner
• Account Security: Prevents fraud and unauthorized access
• Compliance: Meets legal requirements for content protection services

What You'll Need

Before starting the verification process, have ready:

• Government-Issued ID: Passport, driver's license, or national ID card
• Good Lighting: Clear photos are essential for verification
• Smartphone or Webcam: For taking photos of your ID
• 5-10 Minutes: The process is quick and straightforward

Verification Process

Step 1: Access Verification

After subscribing to a plan:

1. Navigate to your Dashboard or Account Settings
2. Look for the "Complete KYC Verification" prompt

• Keep the ID flat and in focus

Stripe Identity will ask you to take a selfie to match with your ID:

1. Position your face in the frame
2. Follow any on-screen instructions (turn head, blink, etc.)
3. Ensure good lighting on your face
4. Remove glasses if they cause glare

Step 5: Submit for Review

After capturing your ID and selfie:
