Accepted Identity Documents
Stake accepts only the following documents for identity checks in Nigeria:
- International passport;
- National ID card, both sides;
- Driver’s licence, both sides;
- Voter’s card, both sides;
- Temporary NIN slip, both sides, plastic version only.
Any other type of document is rejected. You upload the documents after you log in to your account. On a phone, the same upload works in the Stake mobile app.
Document Photo Requirements
Uploads that miss any of these rules are sent back, so check them before you submit:
- high-resolution colour images;
- original photos only, no screenshots;
- clear and readable, without flash glare or blur;
- no physical damage to the document;
- the whole document visible and lying straight;
- at least 3 months left before the document expires;
- Latin international format;
- a photographed paper or plastic document, not a digital version.
