📸 Driver’s license issues

  • Upload clear photos of both the front and back of your driver’s license.

  • All details must be fully visible and easy to read.

  • Only official driver’s licenses are accepted, no temporary or learner permits.

  • We accept licenses from the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland only.

  • You must have held your license for at least 2 years.

  • Whether your license is paper or digital, it may require manual verification by our team, this can take a couple of working days.


🧾 Personal information doesn’t match

  • Your name and other personal details must exactly match what’s on your driver’s license. Any mismatch can delay the verification process.


💳 Payment method problems

  • If your payment isn’t going through, check if you’re using a supported payment method.

  • Too many failed attempts may temporarily block the process. Try again carefully or try adding different payment method.

  • When you add your payment method, a small €0.02 verification fee will be charged to confirm its authenticity.


💬 Didn’t receive your verification code via SMS?

If you didn’t get the code by text message, try these steps:

  • Check your phone number:
    Make sure you’re logging in with the number linked to your Poppy account. If you changed your number, contact us! Send a selfie holding your driver’s license along with your old and new phone numbers via the in-app live chat, we’ll update it for you.

  • Provider issues:

    • If you’re outside Belgium, some providers might block our texts. Contact your provider or consider switching to a Belgian number if the problem continues.

    • Your service provider might be blocking our messages, check with them to remove any block.

  • Still no code? Contact us via the in-app live chat, and we’ll help you get it sorted.


📥 Didn’t receive a confirmation email?

  • Check your spam, junk, or promotions folders, sometimes emails end up there.

  • If you still can’t find it, contact us via live chat and we’ll check for issues with your email.

⚠️ Remember: You only get a confirmation email once when you first sign up. After that, you log in using your phone number and SMS code, no email needed.


🧐 Why schedule a video call for verification?

  • If you chose to disable biometric data, your account will be deactivated until you verify your identity via a video call to prevent fraud.

How to schedule your video call:

  • A pop-up will appear, click “Schedule a call”.

  • Choose a date and time, then click “Book”. You’ll get a confirmation email.

Joining the call:

  • You’ll get a notification 5 minutes before the call.

  • Open the app and click “Join your video call”.

  • Follow the instructions, allow audio recording, and click “Start Call”.

What you need:

  • A clear camera view

  • A valid driver’s license

⚠️ Remember:

  • If we can’t see you clearly or you don’t have your valid ID, you’ll need to reschedule.

  • After 3 missed calls, your account will be blocked.

  • Customer support cannot schedule calls for you, if no slots are available, pick the next open one.


⚠️ Important reminders

  • Use clear photos and upload your documents carefully.

  • Keep an eye on your SMS and email inboxes for verification codes.
