When you create a Helium Mobile account, you will be asked to verify your identity to ensure your account remains secure. We do this for your safety and for the safety of our community.
Our Identity verification process will require the following:
First Name
Last Name
Date of Birth
Address
Once these pass the verification, you're all set to proceed through the account creation steps!
If the verification doesn't pass for any reason, you'll be asked to provide a few additional pieces of information:
Government Identification
Selfie Verification
Identity Verification is required to sign up for Helium Mobile.
