Created a coinbase account recently and found that there's no way to verify your identity if you have an expired ID. Because of covid, Maryland let expired drivers licenses still be valid for the forseeable future, but Coinbase automatically declines them.
- dgellow 6y agoAlso, no way to select a country different from your nationality. Whatever country you select they always change it back to the country of the passport or ID card you provide, even if you live in a different country than your nationality...
- Havoc 6y agoYup. Shovelled a couple countries worth of docs at them. All rejected. And then something got accepted anyway retrospectively. Like uhm ok then.
- capableweb 6y agoI'm was in the same boat a couple of years ago. One email to support fixed the issue for me.
- dumbfounder 6y agoI had the same issue trying to buy Sudafed at CVS. Can you use a passport?
- hn8788 6y agoI don't have a passport. The expired ID hasn't been an issue until now, because the state government sent out a letter you are supposed to keep with you that explains the situation, and says the ID is still valid. I ended up scheduling an appointment to get a new ID, but it's a ~3 month wait.
- smoldesu 6y agoI am in the same boat, and it's remarkably frustrating since I have a relatively large amount of assets in their service, assets I cannot withdraw without confirming my identity.
- xiphias2 6y agoYou can use Kraken, Bitstamp, Cash App as well, they are all good. Coinbase is easier to use, but more expensive (Coinbase Pro is the cheap version)
