Uploading your selfie

To ensure the safety of your Luno account, we may require additional proof of identity in the form of a self-portrait photo. Take an in-app selfie using Luno on Android or iOS, or upload an existing photo when you sign in to Luno on your desktop or mobile web browser, using a photo taken on the same day you submit. Please ensure that the image is in colour and that your face is clearly visible in the photo.
