How to Verify Your Identity for TikTok Payouts

In TikTok, open Profile → Menu → Balance. Under Services, look for Identity verification. If it is missing, open the relevant program and look for a pending setup step. TikTok may show a different route depending on the country and payout type.

Two places where verification can appear

• From Balance: open Services and look for Identity verification. If you see a pending action, read the notice to make sure it applies to your program.
• From a payout setup task: open the program under Balance and check Set up if it appears. You may see payment method, tax information, and identity verification as separate items. Completing one does not complete the others.

What this process verifies

It checks your identity for a payout. It is separate from the blue profile badge and does not require someone else to access your account. A message asking you to pay to unlock a balance or send an identity document in a chat is not the flow TikTok describes. Open the app yourself and check Balance or system notifications.

Select your region in the official form and choose one of the accepted documents shown there. Confirm the information matches your account records and that the image is sharp, complete, and free of glare. If TikTok asks for additional proof, follow the list for your case. Submit your information through TikTok's official flow only; ON Digital does not need your document.

Before taking the photo

• Check which country or region the form asks for and pick an ID it lists. An ID accepted in another market may not work for your account.
• Use good light and a plain background. Keep the corners visible and check that the requested details are legible. Follow the screen for front and back images or any extra evidence.
• Confirm that your name and the requested details match the document. If a locked field does not match, contact support before submitting again.

Share the document only through the official verification flow. If you need help with an error, show the message with personal details hidden.

Return to Balance → Identity verification or check system notifications in your inbox. If TikTok rejects the submission, read the reason and fix that issue before resubmitting. Identity verification is one part of setup; a program may also require a payment method and tax information.

What to do at each status

• Pending: check the original form or system notifications. If there is no request for more information, avoid submitting another copy just because the result has not appeared.
• Rejected: read the notice before trying again. If the image was unreadable, retake it. If the ID type was not accepted, check the list for your market. If the notice gives no useful reason, open a support case in the app.
• Verified: go back to the program to check the payment method, any tax information, and the payout threshold. If the estimate has no date, check the program's payment calendar.

What to have ready for support

Note your username, program name, submission date, and the exact error. Hide ID numbers and payment account details in screenshots. The blog's rewards guide explains how to tell an estimate from a scheduled payout.
