Understand the purpose of the request
Identity verification helps a service connect an application to a person and assess whether the applicant meets its requirements. It can also help distinguish an account owner from someone attempting unauthorized access. The exact obligations vary by jurisdiction and service. A request for identification should explain who is collecting the information and why; it should not be accepted merely because a message includes a recognizable brand name.
Check the destination and scope
Confirm the legal entity, privacy information and secure submission method before sharing documents. If a request seems excessive or unclear, ask what information is necessary and how it will be retained. Do not send an unrequested identity image through a public chat. FYLU has not confirmed a live verification process or document collection service, and its automated helper should be used for explanations rather than identity submissions.
