Verifying your account helps for a few reasons.
- You can send and receive money from other alipay users.
- You can open a store on taobao.com as a foreigner.
- Verifying adds a layer of security to your account.
Once you’ve officially been verified by the system, your account will display a blue check mark to show you’ve verified your account.
Things you need to prepare for verification.
1. A copy of your passport.(biographical page+stamped page)
2. Bank card issued by banks located in China Mainland.
(Note: You can not use bank cards issued by China bank branches in your country to verify your alipay account.)
