# Verify Your Identity as a Partner

impact.com may require you to verify your identity at certain times to reduce the risk of fraud. This can become a requirement when you edit your banking details or if your media properties fail automatic verification. In cases like these, verifying your identity is necessary in order to receive payments.

#### Confirm your identity

You’ll receive a prompt within the impact.com platform to start the verification process. You may also receive an email reminder.

1. On your partner [Dashboard](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/home/pview.ihtml), locate the *Security Alert* banner notification and select **verify your identity**.

2. Select **Get Verified** to start the verification process:
   1. In the pop-up modal that appears, use a smartphone to scan the QR code.

      * Alternatively, if you prefer using your computer, select **Continue with your current device** at the bottom of the modal.

   2. Next, you'll be prompted to confirm your identity. Be sure to have your government-issued identity card/document on hand, then select **Let's go!**.
   3. You'll need to take the following images, ensuring that the photos are clear:
      * The front of your identity card/document (e.g., a passport, driver's license, or national ID card)
      * The back of your identity card/document
      * A selfie
   4. Once submitted, your photos should take a few minutes to process.

      * This step can take a few minutes, but you may dismiss the window and return to your dashboard while waiting. You'll see a submission confirmation once it is done.

3. After submitting your photos through this process, you'll receive feedback from impact.com on whether your identity has been successfully verified.

   * If successful, you'll receive a confirmation email from impact.com.
   * If additional steps are needed, you'll receive an email with instructions for further assistance.

#### Tips to minimize the impact of the delay

impact.com processes a large number of verification requests at any one time, so don't be concerned if the process takes a while. To minimize the impact of the delay:

* Budget for payment delays before updating your bank details on impact.com.
* Avoid logging multiple support tickets as this will increase the number of requests that need processing.
  * Replying to a single ticket when necessary keeps the reference number intact and helps with resolution times.
* Double-check that you have no [payment requirements](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payment-requirements-explained-for-partners.md) that could extend the delay more than necessary.
* Stay informed by reading up about the [factors that influence when partners receive payouts](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/why-havent-i-received-my-payouts-yet.md).
* If the delay exceeds 15 working days, [contact support](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true) to figure out what may be causing the unexpected delay.
