For example, if you want to upload your Driver's License as your ID, you must ensure the address reflected on your Driver's License matches the address you entered in the registration form.
❗ Please take note to abbreviate or fully spell out terms with reference to your ID. For example, if your ID says "Block 123", do not abbreviate it to "Blk 123".
