Steps to Complete the KYC Verification Process
Post-Application Process
KYC approval can take from a few minutes to several months, depending on the accuracy of your information and the availability of validators in your country.
Check your KYC status in your Pi Network app profile. A green checkmark indicates verification, while a loading animation means your application is still pending.
Alternatively, check the Mainnet checklist section. If the “Wait for KYC results” tab is green, your KYC is verified.
Your KYC application will be reviewed by previously verified Pi users. Each application is validated by at least two KYC-verified individuals from your country.
The KYC process costs 1 PI coin, which is rewarded to the validators.
