Why the same document sometimes fails twice
Automated document checks read fine text and security features that a phone camera can easily wash out. The second attempt often fails for the same reason as the first — glare across the laminate, a shadow across a corner, or a photo taken at an angle instead of flat — rather than because of anything about the account itself.
What a "conditional" result actually means here
Some documents are accepted in most cases but flagged more often than others because of formatting quirks — an older card style, a name printed only in a local script, or a layout the automated reader is less used to. It is not a rejection by default, just a document type where a backup option is worth having ready.
The single habit that fixes most rejections
Photograph the document flat, in daylight or an evenly lit room, holding the camera directly above it rather than at an angle. Most of the rejection reasons listed above trace back to glare or a tilted shot rather than the document itself being unacceptable.
When to switch documents instead of retrying the same one
If a document has failed twice with good lighting and a flat angle, retrying a third time rarely changes the outcome. Switching to the backup listed above, or reading through our full KYC rejection guide, tends to move things along faster.
KYC documents, the short answers
Can I use my driving licence for Binance KYC in India?
Usually, though some older card formats without a clear MRZ or English transliteration get flagged more often than a passport. If yours keeps failing, a passport is the more reliable fallback.
What if my document keeps getting rejected?
Re-check lighting and glare first, since that accounts for most repeat failures, then try the backup document listed for your country before assuming there is a deeper account issue.
Does an expired passport work?
No. Identity verification systems check the expiry date on the document itself, so an expired passport is rejected regardless of how clear the photo is.
