How to Verify a Skrill Account - Step by Step Tutorial

In this article, we’ll show you how to verify your Skrill account, step by step.

Account verification is mandatory if you want to use Skrill in full-feature mode. If you prefer not to verify your account, you can still make transactions, but the amounts are limited. 

The verification process is split into two:

I. Completing the registration;
II. Making the first deposit in order to verify your identity;

These can’t go one without the other. Verifying your identity is not available until you make your first transaction.
