Step 1: Choose Start verification in your profile overview. You can also choose I want to send money regularly on the review page of your money transfer to start the process.You will receive a letter from us. 

Step 2: Follow the directions in the letter and fill out the confirmation form.

Step 3: Copy or scan both sides of your photo ID. Make sure your picture, signature, birthdate, and expiry dates are visible.

Step 4: Sign and date the confirmation form. Your signature must match the one on your photo ID.

Step 5: Send all documents to Western Union. It's faster if you email us.

Step 6: Log in to your profile to check your identification status. Verification may take several days. When it is complete, we will email you. In meantime, you can send money by visiting a nearby agent location.
