Phone number is part of your unique user account credentials and you can not change it yourself in user settings.
Still, you can request the change of your phone but there are just a few details to take care and follow our security procedures. Changing a phone number is a situation and type of request where we require you to provide us with an IDCP (ID confirmation photo).
To confirm your request we require an ID confirmation photo (IDCP). That is a picture of the account owner, holding their ID document and a note next to the face to allow for facial confirmation of the ID document.
How to make one:
Take a blank piece of paper,
Fetch your ID card or passport, that you have previously used for the verification with Kriptomat.
Take a pen and write down the note as instructed below in (2) Note section
Make a selfie as instructed below in the (3) Photo section
Checklist for producing a proper IDCP that can be accepted by our verifications team:
(1) ID.
The ID must be a valid identification document (passport, ID card). Please use the same document that you used to verify your identity on Kriptomat.
The details on the ID must be readable. They cannot be blurry or out of focus.
(2) Note.
Must say: “Request a change of phone number to [your new phone number]”
Must be handwritten, not typed.
Must have the current date.
Must have your signature.
None of the text can be covered.
Pay close attention when writing the note! If even one word is different in the note, the photo will not be accepted.
(3) Photo.
The ID shouldn’t be taped or pinned to the note. Both the ID and the note have to be held by hand.
Hold the ID and handwritten note in your hand(s). Someone else can’t hold the note for you.
It’s fine to hold both the handwritten note and the ID in the same hand.
Your face, the ID, and the note all have to be clearly visible.
Your fingers cannot cover any details on your ID or on the note.
Your upper body and hands should be visible. Don’t be a head sticking out from behind the note.
You cannot wear sunglasses, a hat, or anything that obscures your facial features.
Tips:
Have your friend or family member take the photo.
Take the photo during the daytime when the lighting is good.
When it’s dark outside and you’re relying entirely on indoor lighting, it’s harder for cameras to capture details.
