Video verification requests from Kraken Support
It's not required to register for a Zoom account or to download and install software.
Video verification occurs through a call using Zoom and is required in situations where we need to verify that we are communicating with the owner of an account. It is not possible to request video verification yourself, however if you are asked to be verified through video by us, the below instructions can help prepare for the call.
Video verification request instructions
- 1If you received the email requesting video verification, you are provided with a link to a form which expires within three days of the date that the email was sent. In the form you are required to fill out the following details and select the Submit button at the bottom of the page:
- Your current timezone
- Date you are available for a video call
- Time of availability on this date

- 2We will review whether an agent on our Support team is available at the date and time you provided. We will then send you an email to either confirm that the call is scheduled or to ask for an alternative time and date.
- 3Once the time and date are confirmed, you will receive an email with a link a few minutes prior to the call. Click on the link and then either proceed with clicking Open Zoom in the pop up window or Join from your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How can I prepare for the call?
- Have a valid government-issued photo ID at hand before the call starts.
- Have a Two-factor Authentication (2FA) device readily available for sign-in or to secure your account during the call. This can be either a phone with an authenticator app or a hardware security key.
