KYC Policies

Our identity verification policies explain KYC requirements, accepted documents, and verification procedures.

Introduction

MicroJob is committed to maintaining a safe and trustworthy platform for all users. As part of our commitment to preventing fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities, we require users to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before accessing certain features of our platform.

This KYC Policy outlines our identity verification requirements, the documents we accept, and how we handle your personal information during the verification process.

Why KYC is Required

KYC verification is required for the following reasons:

  • Fraud Prevention: To protect our users from fraudulent accounts and scams
  • Regulatory Compliance: To comply with the United States anti-money laundering (AML) regulations
  • Platform Security: To ensure all users are real individuals operating legitimate accounts
  • Financial Safety: To enable secure withdrawal of earnings and protect against unauthorized transactions
  • Trust Building: To create a verified community where employers and freelancers can transact with confidence

When KYC is Required

You must complete KYC verification to:

  • Withdraw funds from your earnings wallet

MicroJob may also request KYC verification at any time, at our discretion, for security reviews, compliance checks, or to investigate suspicious activity. Basic account functions such as browsing jobs, creating a profile, completing tasks, and posting jobs do not require KYC, but withdrawal of earnings always does.

Accepted Identity Documents

MicroJob accepts the following government-issued identity documents for verification:

  • Passport: Valid government-issued passport from any country
  • National Identity Card: Government-issued national ID card with photo
  • Driver's License: Valid government-issued driver's license with photo
  • Government Photo ID: Other state- or government-issued photo identification

Documents must be valid (not expired), clearly legible, and show your full legal name matching your account information.

Verification Process

1. Document Submission

To begin the KYC process:

  • Navigate to your Account Settings and select "ID Verification"
  • Choose your document type from the accepted list
  • Upload clear photos or scans of your document (front and back if applicable)
  • Ensure all text and photos on the document are clearly visible

2. Selfie Verification

In addition to document submission, you may be required to:

  • Take a live selfie that matches your document photo
  • Hold your document next to your face for comparison
  • Complete a liveness check to confirm you are a real person

3. Review Period

Once submitted, your documents will be reviewed by our verification team:

  • Standard Review: 24-48 hours during business days
  • Peak Times: May take up to 72 hours during high-volume periods
  • You will receive email notifications about your verification status

4. Approval or Rejection

After review, your verification will be:

  • Approved: Full platform access granted, including withdrawals
  • Pending: Additional documents or clarification may be requested
  • Rejected: Specific reasons will be provided with instructions to resubmit

Document Requirements

To ensure successful verification, submitted documents must:

  • Be original government-issued documents (no photocopies of photocopies)
  • Be valid and not expired
  • Show your full legal name clearly
  • Include a clear, recent photo of yourself
  • Have all four corners visible in the image
  • Be free from glare, shadows, or obstructions
  • Not be digitally altered or edited

Common Rejection Reasons

Documents may be rejected for the following reasons:

  • Document is expired or invalid
  • Image is blurry, dark, or has glare
  • Full document is not visible in the image
  • Name on document does not match account name
  • Document appears to be edited or tampered with
  • Selfie does not match the document photo
  • Document type is not on the accepted list

If your submission is rejected, you can correct the issues and resubmit for verification.

Data Protection and Privacy

We take your privacy seriously. Your KYC documents and personal information are:

  • Encrypted: All documents are encrypted during transmission and storage
  • Secured: Access is limited to authorized verification personnel only
  • Retained: Documents are retained only as long as required by law and our policies

  • Report suspicious transactions to relevant authorities
  • Maintain records of verification documents as required by law
  • Cooperate with law enforcement investigations when legally required
  • Update verification requirements based on regulatory changes

Account Suspension

MicroJob reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that:

  • Submit fraudulent or falsified documents
