Verifying Your Identity on kalishi
Identity verification is a one-time account step, not a recurring hurdle. We ask for a government-issued photo ID — a driver's license or passport works — along with proof that the payment method you use actually belongs to you. Upload clear images directly from your phone camera or desktop file picker inside the account settings panel. Our review team checks the documents
and confirms your account status; you get a notification when it clears. Verification is what lets your payout route stay open and keeps someone else from ever claiming your balance. Players in Houston and Phoenix going through this step for the first time typically find the document upload takes under two minutes.
- Submit a government-issued ID — A driver's license or passport with your photo is what we need — upload a clear image, front and back.
- Confirm your payment method — Show that the PayPal, Venmo or Play+ account you use is registered to you, not a third party.
- Wait for account confirmation — Our review team checks your documents and sends a notification when your account status is confirmed.
- Payouts stay open — A verified account keeps your withdrawal path clear and your balance protected against unauthorized claims.
