Understanding Different KYC Statuses in Pi Network and Necessary Actions

The Know Your Customer (KYC) process in the Pi Network is crucial for verifying users' identities and ensuring that each account belongs to a genuine individual. Different KYC statuses indicate where users stand in the verification process. Here’s a breakdown of these statuses and possible actions needed for each:

1. Applied

Status Meaning:

  • Your KYC application has been submitted and is under review.
  • The review process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several months.

Action Needed:

  • Be patient and wait for an update.
  • Ensure that your submitted documents are clear and meet Pi Network's requirements to avoid delays.

2. KYC Passed

Status Meaning:

  • Your identity has been successfully verified.
  • You can now access all Pi Network functionalities, including Mainnet migration.

Action Needed:

  • No further action is required. You are fully verified.
  • Proceed with Mainnet migration if you haven’t already.

3. Tentative Approval

Status Meaning:

  • Your KYC verification process is partially complete, but additional checks are required before full approval.
  • The Pi Network team may require further information or document verification.

Action Needed:

  • Review Your KYC Details: Double-check that all the information you provided is accurate and complete.
  • Check Your Account Status: Log in to your Pi Network app to see if your KYC status changes from "tentative approval" to "approved."
  • Contact Support: If you believe all necessary documents were submitted, reach out to Pi Network support for clarification.
  • Be Patient: The process may take time, so allow a few days for the system to finalize the review.

4. Pending

Status Meaning:

  • Your KYC application is still under review and awaiting a final decision.
  • This is similar to "Applied," meaning your submission is in the queue for processing.

Action Needed:

  • Wait for an update on your KYC status.
  • Ensure that your Pi Browser app is updated and check your status regularly.

Status Meaning:

  • Your KYC application was not submitted completely or correctly.

  • Resubmit your application properly.

6. KYC Rejected

Status Meaning:

  • Your application did not meet Pi Network’s verification criteria.
  • Possible reasons for rejection include unclear ID documents, mismatched details, or failure to meet eligibility criteria.

Action Needed:

  • Review the Rejection Reason: Understand why your application was denied.
  • Correct Errors and Resubmit: Ensure that your information is accurate and that your uploaded documents are clear.
  • Check for Eligibility Issues: Make sure you meet all requirements before reapplying.
