I’m not sure how many ways to verify. Verified sellers/buyers get this badge: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gameflipapp/original/2X/4/43284bfc2420167a289edbbc2d35caaa27ec3342.png) Do you have to verify all three to get this badge? (Identity, Phone and Card). I did once verify my Card, but I didn’t receive the verified badge, why is this? I am about to submit it again, as for some reason it deleted the approved status ---

Identity is the one where you get the badge. So you must submit a photo ID with you holding it and a piece of paper saying for gameflip with today’s date. Must have your Name, DOB, and expiration date. I blocked out the last digit of the year of my DOB and it still worked fine, but I’m over 18 regardless if that last digit isn’t there. lol ---

Submitting a Photo I.D, is a passport okay? ---

@MajorTom @DarkKnight Also, I think I’d have trouble verifying my Photo I.D, it must match your name on Gameflip. I set my name on Gameflip as my gamertag, how would I prove that my Photo I.D. is mine. ---

In terms of this. I put in a name that wasn’t mine. I just stated that in the information area on the submission. Still got approved. As for passport, as long as it has your Name, DOB, and an Expiration date, it should be good. But you still need to have a photo of you holding it with that piece of paper that says for gameflip with that days date. (Today’s or whenever you submit it) ---

Yes, my passport has my Name, DOB and Expire Date. I need a photo of me with my passport, and a piece of paper saying e.g. ‘for Gameflip 10/19/2019’? ---

Yes. So a selfie with all that and your face in it, and you’d be good to go. Just explain in the upload section why your name is different on the account and it should work. Did for me. ---

Unfortunately, I tried using my passport, but Gameflip say that they can only accept country given ID, such as a Driver’s License, which makes no sense as a passport is country issued. Gameflip’s protection is that passports are easy to fraud, but they must be the hardest things to fraud. ---

Yea I saw that too, I messaged them back and it was revoked because it was no longer accepted for some reason. I think, you should be able to verify with passport if you’ve verified your Card and Phone, they already know it’s you. ---
