My verification failed because of blurry ID, or mismatching data

Issue

When trying to open a ZEN account, I see "Verification failed. Your name doesn't match the one on your identity document. The photo of your ID doesn't match the selected document type" or "It seems that something went wrong. Some information you provided may not be correct. Please click correct to review them or contact us" screens. What do they mean? How can I get verified?

Answer

In some cases, the process of creating a ZEN account may fail for various reasons. We are here to help you complete your registration.

I see the message "Your name doesn't match the one on your identity document", "The photo of your ID doesn't match the selected document type", or "Blurry ID"

If you see the message "Verification failed. Your name doesn't match the one on your identity document. The photo of your ID doesn't match the selected document type", or "Blurry ID" please follow the on-screen recommendations:

  • Make sure you've entered exactly the same data in the ZEN application form, as visible in your document (for example full name instead of diminutive, all names visible in the document entered in the correct app fields - especially name and surname).
  • Choose the correct document issuing country (country where the document was issued may be different from the country you currently live in, see: Countries supported for ZEN Personal account registration).

I see the message "Some information you provided may not be correct"

If you see the message "It seems that something went wrong. Some information you provided may not be correct. Please click correct to review them or contact us", please double-check if the data provided in the app and the data on your document are exactly the same (e.g. full name instead of diminutive, all names visible in the document entered in the correct app fields - especially name and surname).

I do not see the "Try again" button in my ZEN app anymore
If you do not see the "Try again", or "Contact us" buttons anymore in the ZEN app, please see: My verification failed because of exceeded number of attempts and My verification failed and ZEN is unable to create an account for me.
