1  Other / Beginners & Help / Bitcoin wallet asking for my I.D/Passport on: February 17, 2015, 09:31:25 PM
A bitcoin wallet off of my android phone is asking for personal information too complete a transaction. The original purchase attempt was cancelled for no apparent reason. The company is called CoinBase. Is this normal because it sounds really sketch? Here is the transcript via email. It's backwards; starts at the bottom with the top being the most recent.

Hi Preston,

I apologize for the frustration this has caused. If you wish, I’ll be happy to review this decision.

Please visit our secure upload portal at: https://www.coinbase.com/verifications/documents. Here you can upload an ID document; either a passport, state-issued drivers license, or ID card.

Once you’ve finished this step, let me know and I’ll be able to complete a manual review. If you have any questions or experience issues, please don’t hesitate to send me a message at any time.

Never bought bitcoin before, not sure why this isnt working out. Could
really use some to get pass the religious oppression in my country, please
message me as to why the transaction was cancelled. Is it the small town
bank that is the issue? On my bank account statement there is no mention of
this.
