  Coinbase requires users to verify their ID in order to comply with regulatory requirements and prevent fraud. By verifying your ID, Coinbase can ensure that you are who you say you are, and it helps to create a safer and more secure environment for all users. The length of the verification process can vary depending on several factors, such as the volume of verification requests at the time and the accuracy of the information provided. Typically, the verification process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.

  Coinbase needs to verify your ID to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. This helps to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. The verification process usually takes a few minutes to a few days, but it can take longer if there are any issues with the documents provided or if there is a high volume of verification requests.
