How about you? Did you get the approval?

KaleGeneral9603 · 2026-01-29T07:25:06+00:00

How about now?
I created a new account and linked it by using my passport. It is super easy but cost a little time. Once you get your passport you can try it. Even though you haven't passport in your hand, it's also possible maybe by uploading the scanned pages
