Step-by-Step: Verifying with Your National ID
- Find good lighting. Natural daylight works best for both the ID scan and face check.
- Open GCash and go to your Profile tab.
- Tap “Verify Now” or “Get Fully Verified.”
- Select “National ID” from the list of accepted primary IDs.
- Scan or upload your ID — check the readiness tool above for what your specific format needs.
- Complete the live face scan. Remove masks, hats, or dark glasses; blink or turn your head as prompted.
- Submit. Most National ID verifications clear in 5–10 minutes.
Verifying as a Minor (17 and Under)
GCash allows minors to verify using a Student ID instead of a government-issued ID, but it requires parental consent: a clear photo of the parent’s own valid ID, plus their registered GCash mobile number, submitted alongside the Student ID.
