In this post, we talked about the massive Stellar Lumens (XLM) airdrop from the world's largest bitcoin wallet provider Blockchain.com. To claim your free $25 worth of XLM however, you need to verify your identity (if you've not already done so). This post will walk you through the verification procedure.
Required Items
- Government issued ID: Passport or Driver’s license.
- Your phone (to verify your phone number and record videos of yourself).
About the Verification process
The verification level to claim your free tokens is classified as Tier 2. It is pretty simple and if your uploads (ID and videos of yourself) are clear and consistent, your account will be verified automatically. This takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. However, if there are issues with verifying your account automatically, your submission will undergo manual review which may take up to 5 business days (could be more, depending on the number of submissions that require manual verification).
Required details for the first stage of verification (Tier 1)
To complete your verification, you'll need to first complete Tier 1 verification which requires:
- Country of residence
- First name
