Quick answer
Uploading ID is a normal step in Stake verification, but it is only safe on Stake's own official verification page while you are logged in. Never send documents through a link, DM, email or chat that someone else gives you, including people claiming to be Stake support. Check the address bar, use 2FA, and read the privacy policy before you decide.
Where It Is Safe, and Where It Is Not
| Situation | Safe? |
|---|---|
| Official Stake verification page, logged in, correct domain | Yes, this is the intended route |
| A link sent to you by someone on Telegram, Discord or email | No. Treat it as phishing |
| A person offering to verify your account for a fee | No. Identity theft risk |
| Sending documents to this website or its Telegram | Never needed. We never ask for them |
How to Protect Yourself
- Type the address yourself or use your bookmark. Check the domain carefully.
- Use a strong, unique password and turn on 2FA.
- Upload only the documents the verification page asks for.
- Do not use public Wi-Fi for uploads.
- Read the privacy policy to see how documents are handled and stored.
- Keep a note of what you submitted and when.

FAQ
Is it safe to upload my ID to Stake?
Uploading identity documents is a normal part of verification on regulated-style platforms, and it is only appropriate on Stake's own official verification page, while logged in. You should read the privacy policy and decide whether you are comfortable.
Can I cover part of my document?
Do not cover or edit anything unless the instructions say so. Documents must be fully visible and unaltered to be accepted.
Does StakeWorldwide ask for my documents?
No. We never ask for documents, passwords or 2FA codes. If someone claiming to be us does, it is not us.
What if I already sent my ID to someone else?
Watch for identity misuse and report it. See our scams guide for steps.
