Stake Verification Level 2: Documents, Proof of Address and Common Checks

Stake verification level 2 is commonly associated with stronger identity or address checks. Users often search for this when they are asked to provide documents, proof of address or extra account information.

What level 2 may involve

Depending on the account and region, level 2 may involve:

identity document review
proof of address
date of birth confirmation
country or residence check
account ownership review
payment method consistency

Identity document tips

A strong ID upload should be valid, not expired, readable, complete, unedited, in your own name and matching your account details.

Proof of address tips

Proof of address can be a common level 2 challenge. A good document usually shows full name, residential address, issue date, official issuer, readable text and recent date.

Why level 2 can be rejected

Common problems include blurry ID, cropped document, name mismatch, address mismatch, old proof of address, screenshot instead of original PDF, unsupported document or edited file.

What not to do

Never edit documents, use fake bills, upload someone else’s ID, buy a verified account, pay for “guaranteed KYC” or send private documents to strangers.

FAQ

Does level 2 always require proof of address?

Not always, but proof of address is a common request for stronger verification.

Can level 2 take longer than level 1?

Yes. Document review can take longer than basic account checks.

What if my proof of address is rejected?

Review the date, name, address, document type and image quality.
