Why IDs Get Rejected on OnlyFans

Before we talk about how to fix it, let's understand why IDs get rejected:

Common Reasons for Rejection

IDs get rejected for several reasons:

• Photo Quality Issues: Photo is blurry, dark, or unclear
• ID Not Visible: ID is cut off, covered, or not fully visible
• Expired ID: Your ID has expired
• Wrong Type of ID: OnlyFans doesn't accept that type of ID
• Name Mismatch: Name on ID doesn't match your account
• Age Verification: OnlyFans can't verify you're 18+
• Photo Doesn't Match: Your selfie doesn't match your ID photo
• Technical Issues: File format or size issues

Most rejections are due to photo quality or ID visibility issues, not because you're not eligible.

Most Common Issue: Photo Quality

The most common reason for rejection is photo quality:

• Photos that are too blurry
• Photos that are too dark
• Photos with glare or reflections
• Photos where the ID isn't fully visible
• Photos that are too small or low resolution

If your ID got rejected, it's most likely a photo quality issue. The good news is this is easy to fix.

At TP MGMT, we help our creators get their IDs approved on OnlyFans. We know the common issues and how to fix them so you can get approved quickly.

How to Fix ID Rejection on OnlyFans

Here's how to fix common ID rejection issues:

1. Check Photo Quality

Make sure your photos are high quality:

• Take photos in good lighting (natural light is best)
• Make sure photos are clear and not blurry
• Use a good camera (phone cameras work fine)
• Make sure photos are in focus
• Avoid glare or reflections on the ID

Good photo quality is the most important thing. Take new photos if yours are blurry or dark.

2. Make Sure ID Is Fully Visible

Your ID must be fully visible:

• All four corners of the ID should be visible
• Nothing should be covering the ID
• Make sure your fingers aren't covering any information
• The ID should fill most of the photo
• All text should be readable

OnlyFans needs to see the entire ID clearly. Make sure nothing is cut off or covered.

3. Check Your ID Is Valid

Make sure your ID is valid:

• Your ID must not be expired
• It must be a government-issued ID
• It must be an accepted type (driver's license, passport, etc.)
• It must be in good condition (not damaged or worn)
• All information must be readable

OnlyFans only accepts valid, government-issued IDs. Make sure yours meets these requirements.

4. Verify Name Matches

Your name must match:

• Name on ID must match your OnlyFans account name
• If you use a stage name, you may need to use your legal name
• Check for spelling differences
• Make sure middle names match if included

Name mismatches are a common reason for rejection. Make sure everything matches exactly.

5. Take a Good Selfie

Your selfie must match your ID:

• Take a clear selfie in good lighting
• Make sure your face is clearly visible
• Your face should match your ID photo
• Don't wear anything that covers your face
• Look directly at the camera

OnlyFans needs to verify that you're the person on the ID. Make sure your selfie clearly shows your face.

6. Check File Format and Size

Make sure your files meet requirements:

• Use accepted file formats (JPG, PNG usually work)
• Make sure files aren't too large or too small
• Check OnlyFans' current file requirements
• Don't compress files too much (loses quality)

Technical issues can cause rejections. Make sure your files meet OnlyFans' requirements.

Step-by-Step: How to Resubmit Your ID

Here's how to resubmit your ID correctly:

Step 1: Take New Photos

Start fresh with new photos:

• Take photos in good lighting (near a window or with good indoor lighting)
• Use a good camera (phone camera is fine)
• Make sure photos are clear and in focus
• Take multiple photos and pick the best ones
• Make sure ID is fully visible

Don't use the same photos that got rejected. Take new, better quality photos.

Step 2: Prepare Your ID

Make sure your ID is ready:

• Clean your ID (remove any smudges or dirt)
• Make sure it's not expired
• Check that all information is readable
• Make sure it's not damaged
• Use a flat surface to take the photo

A clean, valid ID in good condition makes verification easier.

Step 3: Take ID Photo

Take the ID photo correctly:

• Place ID on a flat, contrasting surface (dark ID on light surface, or vice versa)
• Make sure all four corners are visible
• Hold camera directly above (not at an angle)
• Make sure there's no glare or reflections
• Take photo so all text is readable

The ID photo should be clear, well-lit, and show the entire ID.

Step 4: Take Selfie

Take a good selfie:

• Take selfie in good lighting
• Look directly at the camera
• Make sure your face is clearly visible
• Don't wear anything that covers your face
• Make sure your face matches your ID photo

The selfie should clearly show your face so OnlyFans can verify you match your ID.

Step 5: Submit Through OnlyFans

Submit your new photos:

• Go to your OnlyFans account settings
• Find the verification section
• Upload your new ID photo
• Upload your new selfie
• Double-check everything before submitting

Make sure you submit the new, high-quality photos, not the old ones.

Step 6: Wait for Review

Wait for OnlyFans to review:

• Review usually takes 24-48 hours
• Sometimes it takes longer
• Don't resubmit multiple times (slows things down)
• Check your email for updates
• Be patient

OnlyFans will review your submission. Don't resubmit multiple times—it can slow down the process.

At TP MGMT, we help our creators get their IDs approved by ensuring photos meet all requirements. We know what OnlyFans looks for and how to submit correctly.

Common Mistakes When Submitting ID

Here are mistakes to avoid:

Mistake 1: Using Blurry Photos

Blurry photos are the #1 reason for rejection.

Fix it: Take photos in good lighting, use a good camera, make sure photos are in focus, and take multiple photos to pick the best one.

Mistake 2: ID Not Fully Visible

If parts of your ID are cut off or covered, it will be rejected.

Fix it: Make sure all four corners are visible, nothing is covering the ID, your fingers aren't covering information, and the ID fills most of the photo.

Mistake 3: Using Expired ID

Expired IDs are not accepted.

Fix it: Make sure your ID is not expired. If it is, renew it before submitting.

Mistake 4: Name Mismatch

If the name on your ID doesn't match your account, it will be rejected.

Fix it: Make sure the name on your ID matches your OnlyFans account name exactly. If you use a stage name, you may need to use your legal name for verification.

Mistake 5: Poor Selfie Quality

If your selfie is blurry or doesn't match your ID, it will be rejected.

Fix it: Take a clear selfie in good lighting, make sure your face is clearly visible, and ensure it matches your ID photo.

Mistake 6: Resubmitting Too Quickly

Resubmitting multiple times can slow down the process.

Fix it: Wait for OnlyFans to review your submission. Don't resubmit multiple times in a short period. Give them time to review.

Mistake 7: Not Following Instructions

Not following OnlyFans' specific instructions can cause rejection.

Fix it: Read OnlyFans' verification instructions carefully and follow them exactly. They have specific requirements for a reason.

What to Do If Your ID Keeps Getting Rejected

If your ID keeps getting rejected:

1. Review the Rejection Reason

OnlyFans usually tells you why it was rejected:

• Check the rejection email or message
• Read the specific reason they give

• Make sure your ID type is on the list
• If not, you might need a different ID
• Driver's license or passport are usually safest

If your ID type isn't accepted, you'll need to use a different type of ID.

5. Consider Getting a New ID

If your ID is damaged or unreadable:

• Consider getting a replacement ID
• If it's expired, renew it
• A new, clear ID might work better
• This is a last resort option

The most common reason is photo quality—blurry or dark photos. Taking new, high-quality photos usually fixes the issue. At TP MGMT, we help our creators identify why their ID was rejected and fix it.

OnlyFans only accepts valid, government-issued IDs. They typically don't accept student IDs, work IDs, expired IDs, or damaged IDs. Requirements can vary by country, so check OnlyFans' current requirements for your location. When in doubt, a driver's license or passport is usually the safest option.

How long does it take for OnlyFans to review my ID?

Can I use an expired ID for OnlyFans verification?

No, you cannot use an expired ID for OnlyFans verification. OnlyFans only accepts valid, non-expired government-issued IDs. If your ID is expired, you need to renew it before submitting. Expired IDs will be rejected. Make sure your ID is current and valid before submitting. If your ID is about to expire soon, it's better to renew it first to avoid issues. At TP MGMT, we help our creators ensure their IDs are valid before submitting.

What if my name on my ID doesn't match my OnlyFans account name?

If your name doesn't match, your ID will likely be rejected. OnlyFans requires the name on your ID to match your account name. If you use a stage name on OnlyFans, you may need to use your legal name for verification. Check for spelling differences—even small differences can cause rejection. Make sure middle names match if they're included. If your name has changed (marriage, etc.), you may need to update your ID or use your current legal name. The name must match exactly. At TP MGMT, we help our creators ensure names match correctly.

My ID keeps getting rejected, what should I do?

If your ID keeps getting rejected: review the rejection reason (OnlyFans usually tells you why, address that specific issue), take completely new photos (don't reuse old photos, use better lighting and camera, make sure everything is perfect), contact OnlyFans support (explain your situation, ask for specific guidance), check if your ID type is accepted (make sure your ID type is on OnlyFans' accepted list), and consider getting a new ID (if your ID is damaged or unreadable, a new one might work better). Most repeated rejections are due to photo quality—make sure you're taking high-quality, clear photos. At TP MGMT, we help our creators fix repeated rejection issues.

Do I need to show my full face in the selfie for OnlyFans verification?

Yes, you need to show your full face clearly in the selfie. OnlyFans needs to verify that you're the person on the ID, so your face must be clearly visible. Don't wear anything that covers your face (masks, sunglasses, etc.). Look directly at the camera. Make sure your face matches your ID photo. The selfie should be clear and in good lighting. OnlyFans uses the selfie to verify you match your ID, so it's important that your face is clearly visible. At TP MGMT, we help our creators take selfies that meet OnlyFans' requirements.

Can I contact OnlyFans support if my ID got rejected?

Yes, you can contact OnlyFans support if your ID got rejected. If you've tried multiple times and it keeps getting rejected, or if you're not sure why it was rejected, contact support. Explain your situation clearly, ask for specific guidance on what to fix, and be patient—support can take time to respond. They might be able to help you understand what's wrong or provide specific guidance. However, most rejections are due to photo quality issues that you can fix yourself by taking new, better photos. At TP MGMT, we help our creators contact support when needed and prepare for those conversations.
