🔸Detailed Pi KYC Application Process

Stage One: Preparation and Application Setup

Download and Install First, download the Pi Browser app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store, then switch to the Mainnet version within the Pi Network main app.

Checklist Tasks Go to the Mainnet checklist tab and complete all tasks in order. After completing all prerequisite tasks, including “Submit KYC application,” the KYC application function will unlock automatically. If not displayed, you can manually access it via the “kyc.pi” page in Pi Browser.

Stage Two: Identity Verification Information Entry

Country and Document Type Selection On the KYC process homepage, select your country. Then choose the ID type for verification; passport verification is widely recommended. Nigerian users can use an international passport or their National Identification Number (NIN).

Photographing and Uploading ID Click “Add Front Photo” and take a clear image of the front side of your ID. If needed, upload the back side photo as well. Be sure to read the four-step instructions on the screen carefully before taking photos.

Form Data Filling Fill in the following information fields:

• First Name, Middle Name (optional), Last Name
• Gender, Date of Birth
• ID Number, ID Expiry Date
• Current Country of Residence

Stage Three: Facial Biometrics Verification

Click the “Ready” button to proceed to facial verification. Ensure you are in a well-lit environment, facing the camera with your face clearly visible. The system will use facial recognition technology to verify your identity.

🔸Process After Pi KYC Submission

Review Mechanism and Expected Time

Your submitted Pi KYC application will be checked by a review team composed of verified Pi Network users. Each application requires approval from at least two verified users from your country. The review time varies depending on the completeness and accuracy of your information and the availability of reviewers in your region, ranging from a few minutes to several months.

How to Check Verification Status

You can view your KYC status on your profile page in the Pi Network app. A green check mark indicates verification approval; a looping animation indicates the application is still under review. You can also check the checklist tab in Mainnet—if the “Waiting for KYC result” option is green, your verification has been approved.

Fee Explanation

Each Pi KYC application requires a payment of 1 Pi coin as a processing fee, which will be distributed as a reward to the participating verification reviewers.

🔸Suggestions for Handling Long Pending Cases

If you have completed the Pi KYC submission but the review has been pending for several months with no results, industry experts have issued guidance through relevant channels. It is recommended to consult the related resources and follow the steps to facilitate the progress of your application.
