# Identity Verification

> Verification levels, accepted ID types, and document submission guidelines.

Every customer must complete identity verification before sending or receiving funds. Individuals are verified at one of two levels: Standard (automated) or Enhanced (manual review for high-risk countries). Verification is powered by **Sumsub**. A complete, high-quality document submission avoids delays and follow-up requests.

## Verification Levels

Two KYC levels exist for individuals:

* **KYC Standard** is the default verification. It is automated and typically completes in about 60 seconds.
* **KYC Enhanced** is required for individuals from high-risk countries. It includes everything from KYC Standard plus additional documentation, and all submissions are manually reviewed by the compliance team.

<Info>
  For the full list of required fields per KYC type, see [Customer Verification Guide](/docs/guide/customer-verification-guide).

## Accepted ID Types

The following government-issued ID types are accepted for identity verification:

| ID Type                          | Notes                                |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |

| Driver's license                 | Accepted globally                    |

  If you are a Zambian customer, you may use your NRC as your primary ID document.
