What If My Address Doesn't Match My ID?
Solutions for address mismatches during verification
Address mismatches are common and easily resolved:
- •Submit proof of address for your current location
- •Your ID can show a different address - that's okay
- •Provide brief explanation if you recently moved
Both documents must show your real name (exact match).
No delays - processed within 24-48 hours
Many users have different addresses on their ID and current residence. This is normal and won't prevent verification.
Common Mismatch Scenarios
Recently Moved
ID shows old address, you live somewhere new
Student Living Away
ID shows parents' address, living in dorm/apartment
Temporary Stay
Temporarily living different from ID address
ID Never Updated
Moved years ago, never updated driver's license
Documents to Submit
Valid ID
Any government-issued photo ID (old address is okay)
Current Address Proof
Dated within 3 months, shows your current address
Optional: Explanation
Brief note if you moved recently (helps speed review)
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the address mismatch delay my verification?
No. This is very common. As long as you provide valid proof of your current address, verification proceeds normally (24-48 hours).
Do I need to update my driver's license first?
No. You don't need to update your government ID. We verify your CURRENT address separately with proof of address documents.
What counts as proof of current address?
Utility bill, bank statement, government letter, insurance statement, or lease agreement. Must be dated within 3 months and show your full name.
My account address is also different. Is that a problem?
Just update your account address in settings to match your current proof of address document. Then submit for verification.
