# KYC

**What documents do I need before taking part in KYC on the Uplift platform?**

You need only 2 things - a passport and a selfie. Steps for KYC passing are described [here](https://docs.uplift.io/kyc/how-to-pass-kyc).

**How will my data be stored?**

Uplift does not store any personal data. Blockpass on-chain KYC service is used for providing KYC on the platform. Through the On-Chain KYC® solution, users' data is verified but then the users' data is deleted. A record of the verification result associated with the user is kept by Blockpass only.

**Should I stake first before completing the KYC process?**

The order of actions doesn't matter. However, you need to remember that if you do not pass KYC you can not participate in IDOs or private sales and you can not use your staking power in it.

**How long does the KYC process take to be approved on the Uplift platform?**

Originally it takes some minutes, but in some cases, it can take 2 days.

**I passed KYC on one wallet and can not pass it again on another wallet. What is the problem?**

A user can have only one wallet with KYC. If you want to change the wallet you used, you need to write to our admins in [Telegram](https://t.me/upliftcommunity). A user needs to give the wallet address from which we need to delete KYC.
