After you have successfully registered your account at Skrill you need to make sure that it is fully verified. Doing this straight away avoids a lot of headache later down the road as functionality of the account is limited until the verification process is complete. The process can seem excessive but is necessary for Skrill to make sure that all account holders are real and that accounts are not fraudulent.
Once your account has received your deposited funds it is time to start the verification process. This is done by going to Settings, followed by Verification.
After pressing Verify now, you will be sent to the Verify your Account page where you will be asked to complete the remaining steps of the verification process.
You can download the official Skrill app from both Google play store as well as App store and proceed with the verification from there. This method is the fastest one and highly recommended as the Skrill Mobile App is very easy to navigate.

To get started, choose the country that your ID document was issued in as well as what type of documentation that you are about to submit. Please note that if the document you are taking a photo of was issued in a different country than the one you chose when registering your Skrill account, it is important that you change this as it will otherwise delay the verification process.
