That’s why we’ve implemented a secure, reliable, and transparent identity verification process — ensuring that every registered user is truly who they claim to be.


🧾 Why Is Identity Verification Important?

This process helps to:

✅ Prevent identity theft and impersonation
✅ Reduce fraud involving royalties or contracts
✅ Ensure accurate copyright and rights ownership
✅ Comply with international legal standards (e.g., KYC and AML regulations)


🔍 What Might UMW Request?

As part of the identity verification process, you may be asked to provide:

📸 A clear photo of a valid government-issued ID
(e.g., passport, national ID, driver’s license)

🤳 A real-time selfie
To confirm that the ID belongs to you

📤 A signed form or digital signature, if needed for legal documents


🛠️ What Tool Is Used?

UMW may use trusted third-party tools such as Stripe Identity, which offer:

🔐 Secure biometric verification
🧠 AI-powered document validation and fraud detection
🌍 Support for IDs from over 200 countries

This ensures a fast, encrypted, and globally compliant verification process. ⚙️🔒


📬 When Is Identity Verification Required?

🔸 Upon account registration or upgrading to higher-tier plans
🔸 Before processing large royalty payments
🔸 In cases of suspicious activity or account review
🔸 When ownership or rights conflicts arise


🎯 In Summary:

✔️ UMW verifies your identity to protect your rights and your music
