How to verify your Stake account: the KYC levels, the documents you need, how long review takes, and how to avoid withdrawal delays.

Stake uses tiered verification on a risk-based model: basic actions are available immediately, while higher KYC tiers unlock as withdrawals grow or when compliance requests them. Tiers are usually asked for in steps: email and phone confirmation, then a government ID (passport or national ID), then proof of address (a recent utility bill or bank statement), and for large amounts a source-of-funds check. Documents must be legible, current, and match your account details. Review usually takes from a few minutes to 1–3 business days depending on the tier and queue. The key tip: verify early, before you want to withdraw a large amount — this removes almost all delays. Your KYC level directly affects withdrawal limits and speed, so there is no benefit in postponing it. Never send documents to third parties and use only the official interface.
