What is FIDE ID verification?
The FIDE ID verification is a FIDE-approved personal data verification process, mandatory for all new paid members of the platform. Once you've filled in all your personal information during registration and attached a photo with your ID, we will process your request within 2 days. If all the necessary information is present and clear, we'll approve your request, and you'll be able to play. If something is missing, our team will contact you to clarify the details.
