Wise Verification Stuck? (2026 Solutions)

Stop waiting for your money. Use this "Solution-First" guide to bypass verification loops and restore your cash flow today.

Step 1: The App Capture Overhaul

Desktop webcams often fail resolution checks. For instant approval, use the Wise Mobile App for document capture.

• Log in to the Wise App and navigate to the Verification Tab or "Activity" list.
• If re-uploading, place your ID on a dark, flat surface in a well-lit room to eliminate glare.
• Ensure all 4 corners of the ID and the back side (if required) are clearly visible.

Step 2: Correct Data Mismatches

If your legal name or date of birth on Wise differs from your ID by even one character, the AI will reject it.

• Go to Settings > Personal Details and ensure the name matches your Passport/ID exactly.
• If address verification is requested, upload a Digital PDF statement from your bank or utility provider. Photos of paper bills are often rejected in 2026.

Step 3: Force a Manual Refresh

If you see a "We have all we need" message but nothing is happening, your account may be "Ghosted" in the queue.

• Technical Refresh: Clear your browser cache or uninstall/reinstall the Wise app to reboot the session.
• Trigger the Flow: Set up a new, small transfer. You don't need to pay for it, but this action can force the system to re-scan your verification status.
• Check your Spam folder for emails from wise.com asking for more info; they won't resume the transfer until you reply.
