How do I verify my ID?

Step-by-step instructions on how to verify your ID when signing up to AuctionsPlus.

Buyers may verify their ID on AuctionsPlus to provide peace of mind. Once you have signed up, verified your email and selected the details that best describes you, you may verify your ID. 

If you have already signed up to AuctionsPlus and are now needing to verify your ID, you can do so via your user dashboard

Note: To verify your AuctionsPlus account, you will need to have a physical valid government-issued identity document (such as a driver's license or passport) and have a device with a camera (such as an iPhone or computer with a webcam) handy to verify. Scanned copies of an ID will not validate.
