I have just sent in the last document I needed to get my Alertpay account verified so I decided to write this guide now on how you can get your AlertPay account verified.

Verification of your Alertpay account is not really necessary but most sites that accept Alertpay payments require verified accounts. Anyway, the process is very easy. However, if you still choose to not verify, that’s okay. You can still receive or transfer funds through Alertpay .

Alertpay requires 2 verification documents for the whole process – a copy of 1 proof of address and 1 photo ID:

• Photo identification can be one of the following:
  • Driver’s license
  • Passport
  • State ID, Country ID or Photo Medical ID
  • For Pinoys, your SSS or TIN/BIR ID cards will do.

  Important Note: The four edges of the ID card should be visible. And, if the expiration date is at the back of the ID, you should send a copy of the back of the card, too.

• Proof of address must show your name and address and be dated within the last 6 months. You can submit one of the following:
  • Utility Bill
  • Phone bill
  • Credit card statement – I blurred out the credit card # on the scanned copy I sent.
  • Bank Statement

Now, there are also 2 ways you can send in your verification documents:

• By mailing them in.
  If you have a scanner or a digital camera, it’s easier if you just upload a copy or photo of your verification documents so the verification process will be faster. However, if you have no access to a scanner or digital camera, you can go ahead and mail them in.

  When sending your verification documents through snail mail, you would also need the verification submission cover letter along with the photocopies of your verification documents. Here’s how to get the verification submission cover letter:

  • Click on the “Become verified” button on your account overview page.
  • Under “Verification type”, choose the first document you want to submit.
  • Choose your “Form Type”.
  • Under “Submission Type”, click on “Mail in document”.
  • Right-click on “verification submission cover letter”, which appears in green, so it will open in a new window. Then, go back to the first window and simply click on Finish.

    Print it out, fill it in and submit it with your valid photo ID and proof of address. Here’s what that verification cover letter looks like (click to zoom in):

    

  These documents will be processed after they were received by AlertPay.
  
  Here’s the mailing address where you should send in your verification documents:

  AlertPay Inc.
  Attn: Verification Department
  5200 De La Savane, Suite 220
  Montreal, Quebec H4P-2M8
  Canada

• By uploading them.
  This is the easiest way to submit your verification documents – by simply uploading them. First thing you need to do is scan or take a photo of your photo ID and proof of address, making sure that the 4 edges of both documents are shown.
  • Click on the “Become verified” button on your account overview page.
  • Under “Verification type”, choose the first document you want to submit.
  • Choose your “Form Type”. Browse for the copy of the file (in .pdf, .jpg, .gif format)
  • Do this again for the second verification document.
  • Once you’re done, you should get this message saying that the verification process will take about 10 days.

That’s it! All you have to do is wait ’til your account is verified. You can check the status of your verification on the Account Overview page.
