In order to completely verify Pond5 seller accounts, we do require our contributing artists to verify their identity for security. This is to protect all of our artists and their work. All information remains confidential and is kept internally.
Sellers must upload an image of their government-issued photo ID with a valid expiration date. Examples of accepted types of identification are a passport, driver license, or another government-issued ID card.
Here is the information we would like to see:
- Full name
- Photo
- Date of Birth
- Issue Date
- Expiration date
Note: Uploaded IDs must be JPG or PNG and cannot exceed 2MB.
Please ensure that the image of your ID is legible and clear. The name on your ID should match the name listed on your account.
Note: You will not be able to start submitting files to curators if your ID has not been verified.
