How to verify SKRILL account and increase account limits?

Increasing your limits is usually a matter of providing additional account verifications which is quick and easy. Once you have started using your account to make transactions, you will be given the option to provide an additional verification of your identity, by uploading a clear, legible, valid and unaltered scanned colour copy or photo of one of the following documents:

    •    The front and back of your driving license
    •    The photo page of your passport
    •    Front and back of your national ID card
    •    Address verification document
    •    Face match/selfie picture of you

Fund Account

Funding your Skrill account is part of the verification process. You can complete the verification of your account ONLY after a successful funding. You can fund your Skrill account by using any of upload options available in the Deposit section of your account or by receiving money from other Skrill customer or merchant.

You can start the process of uploading a copy of your photo identification documents by clicking on the banner, visible after you login to your Skrill wallet or via the Settings section of your account, under Verification.
