Pi Network KYC Guide – How to Get Verified Fast: Follow this step-by-step process to complete your KYC verification quickly and correctly—in under 5 minutes!
Important! Before proceeding with the guide and applying the steps, you must understand that verifying your Pi Network KYC account is a real and serious process. We strongly advise against using fake data or false names, as such actions will result in your KYC verification being banned, including any future accounts you create. Therefore, follow this guide carefully and prepare all the necessary documents, summarized as follows:
- Enter your information in the same language as written on your official documents (do not choose a different language).
- Prepare your official documents; you can use an ID card, passport, driver’s license, or residence permit.
- Get ready for a live selfie, ensuring that no one else appears in the photo.
Warning: KYC verification can only be submitted once. If you enter incorrect information, even by mistake, your account will not be verified.
Starting the Verification Process
- Open the Pi Network app.
- Go to the Pi Network Mainnet Checklist.
- Click on step 7, which will redirect you to the Pi Browser app to begin the KYC verification process.
Step-by-Step Pi Network KYC Verification
Step 1: Initial Information
The first step when submitting your Pi Network KYC verification request is to select the essential details to begin verification, as subsequent information will be based on it.
- Choose the correct language as written on your official documents. If your primary language is Arabic, select Arabic; do not choose another language.
- Enter your birthdate exactly as it appears on the official document you will submit. The date must be in the Gregorian calendar, not the Hijri calendar.
- Select your country: Choose the country that issued your official document.
Note: If you are a resident in a different country, we recommend selecting your home country and using your passport for verification. If you live in your home country, use your national ID card.
- Approval: Check the two boxes to accept the terms and conditions.
- After ensuring all entered information is correct, click “Let’s go!”.
Step 2: Verification Instructions
- Prepare the official document you will use for verification: National ID card, passport, driver’s license, or residence permit.
- Enter your information correctly, matching the official document you are submitting.
- Confirm your identity via a live camera capture.
- Pay 1 Pi as the KYC verification fee (automatically deducted from your mined balance).
Step 3: Capturing the Official Document
- Read the instructions in the green box and ensure you comply, click “I’m ready”
- First, take a front photo of your document, then take a back photo (if applicable). The image must be clear with good lighting.
- If your document does not require a back photo (such as a passport or residence permit), repeat the front image in both fields.
- After verifying that the images are clear and unedited, click “Next step.”
Step 4: Entering Your Information
On this page, enter your details accurately as they appear on your official document.
- Enter your first name.
- Enter your middle name (if applicable).
- Enter your last name (surname). If your official document does not have a last name, enter your third name instead.
- Select your gender (Male or Female).
- Enter your birthdate in the Gregorian calendar. If it appears in Hijri on your document, convert it and ensure accuracy.
- Enter your email address, ensuring you have access to it.
- Enter your document ID number as it appears on the document.
- Enter the document expiration date (if applicable). If your document has no expiration date, check the designated box.
- Select your permanent residence country (not a temporary stay for tourism purposes).
- Enter your address, city, and postal code. If you don’t know your postal code, enter 0.
After verifying all details are accurate with no spelling errors, click “Next Step.”
Step 5: Live Facial Verification
Before starting the biometric verification (live camera scan), read the instructions in the green box.
- Sit in a well-lit place where your face is visible and click “I’m Ready” to activate the camera.
- Keep your phone directly in front of your face, ensuring full visibility in the frame.
- Look at the camera and ensure no one else appears in the frame.
- You will be asked to smile and move your face in four directions (right, left, up, down). Follow the instructions carefully.
- Keep your eyes on the camera and wait for the green notification before moving your face as instructed.
- After completing the biometric scan, click “Next Step.”
Step 6: Reviewing Your Information
- Review all entered details for accuracy, then click “Next.”
- Wait a few minutes for the next step. Do not close the Pi Browser until the process moves forward.
Step 7: Final Information Review
- Ensure all images are correct and clear. Your document images will be partially obscured for privacy.
- After confirming accuracy, click “Submit and Pay.”
Step 8: Submitting the KYC Request
To submit your Pi Network KYC verification request, click “Yes, the data is accurate.” Once submitted, you cannot modify it.
- If you see this message, your request has been successfully submitted. Congratulations! You are now a verified Pi Network pioneer.
Final Step: Tentative Approval
- Click “See Status” to track your request. It usually appears in yellow as “Tentative Approval,” meaning there is no issue—just wait patiently until full verification.
Conclusion
You have now completed the “Pi Network KYC: Full Guide Step-by-Step”, the most crucial step in verifying your Pi Network account. Below are some common questions and answers:
When will my account be fully verified?
- There is no fixed time. Some users get verified in hours, while others may wait longer. Be patient, and your account will eventually be verified.
How do I know my account is verified?
- Open the Pi Browser app and click on KYC to check your verification status.
What do the verification colors mean?
- Yellow: Tentative Approval – Just wait.
- Green: Fully Approved – Successfully verified.
- Red: Verification failed – You must resubmit with corrected details.
- Purple: Under review – Appears when reapplying after a failed attempt.
Do I need to pay a fee for verification?
- No, 1 Pi is deducted automatically from your balance, with no actual money required.
Can someone else verify my account for me?

Hello,
I have done steps 1-6, I have 30 mining sessions and I have about 94 Pi in my account. I can’t do the KYC, it tells me there are no slots available. How can I fix this?
Hi,
Please read: Solving the Phone Number Verification Issue in Pi Network
I have the same issue (**Redacted**) I submitted everything for KYC, the first time it said photos not clear, the 2nd time the same, now the 3rd time I’m for maybe more than a year in a permanent wait…nothing new showing except we are wating for validators in your area, now the selfie I believe to be clearer (i had a scractched old phone and not the glass came off and the photo was better)
I have verified by phone and email (**Redacted**) the account but I cannot get the last part (KYC) to complete
Any ideea why?
First, Do not share any information associated with your account even if you hide part of it, so we redact the information you shared. Stay safe always.
Second, the images you attach must be clear and free of any reflections that make some information invisible or unclear, such as light or shadow reflections.
If your KYC is not successfully accepted, all you need to do is wait and you will receive a notification to submit another KYC. There is no specific time because the process is managed by the network itself.
