Hi,

I am with 5 of the big 6 now, but SS is missing. When I register on SS I have to verify my ID. So I uploaded my (german) identity card AND my driving licence (I am from germany). But they rejected my ID with following reason:

"Please upload a passport which is valid for international travel.  We only accept international passports.  We do not accept national identity cards."

So my question is: what exactly do I need to verify my ID? I am not sure about this.

would be great if somebody  tells me what I should do. thank you a lot.
(and sorry for my bad english, I should improve it ;-) )

They did not accept my Bosnian ID card also (it is made by EU standard, an almost identical like german one...., text is on Bosnian and English), so I scaned my passport, and they aproved it.

thanks a lot for your advice. I wrote them an email and I also found my old passport which is unfortunately expired since 10 years 

They accepted my expired passport from 1988.

great, they excepted my ID today.   now I have to upload 10 pictures. any ideas what the most popular mistakes are?

Go to the critique forum there and read and read and read.  Yes, watch out for noise - that's a biggie.  Avoid flowers and nature.  Use your best "Stock" shots - not your best "Art" shots.  Use shots that are the most technically perfect you have.  Do NOT get offended if you are rejected!

But mainly, to get the best idea, go to the critique forum.  I recommend you post some there before submitting.  The photogs who really help there can be blunt, but they are usually spot on with their comments.

hey,

this mornin I uploaded my first 10 pictures to get approved... and they accepted all 10 of the 10 images.

thanks for your advice!!! great!!!

now I have just one further question: why can't I find my 10 images with the search function? does it take som time until I can find may approved pictures?
