           - Currently, an organization that has a year-founded date of less than three years can't be onboarded, and identity validation fails. 
           - If your organization has a year-founded date of more than three years, ensure that you didn't miss an email verification link that was sent to the primary email address you entered when you created your identity validation request. The link expires after seven days. If you overlooked the email or if you didn't select the link in the email within seven days, create a new identity validation request.   
           - If identity validation fails, but not because of a missed email verification, the Microsoft validation team wasn't able to make a determination about your request based on the information that you provided. Even if you provide more documentation when we request it, if we can't validate the information, we can't onboard you to Trusted Signing. In this scenario, we recommend that you delete your Trusted Signing account so that you aren't billed for unused resources.

-        answer: | 
-          - If you see the error, it is because the email address entered during the individual identity validation is different from the one being used to sign in to access the link. Make sure both the email addresses match.

-        answer: | 
-          - Be sure to use a government issued ID with address on it, in order to successfully go through the process.
-      - question: What if I already have a VID?
-        answer: | 
-          - Follow the steps to present your existing VID for Trusted Signing. For this process, VIDs must include your address in addition to your name. Ensure that your VIDs have your address on them before using them for Trusted Signing.

-2. Types of ID Accepted:
-- Government-issued IDs such as passports, driving licenses, or ID cards.
-- Photo IDs (or a US Social Security Card).
-- Official government-issued IDs such as a passport, driver’s license, or state ID.
-- Do not submit privately issued IDs such as library cards, school IDs, club membership cards, etc.
-
-3. Visibility/Low Light/Bright Light:
-- Do not use flash.
-- Do not place the ID in direct sunlight.
-- Hold the camera or mobile device steady while taking the picture.
-
-4. Best Practices for Supplemental Docs:
-- Utility Bills: Electricity, water, gas, or telephone bills (should be recent, typically within the last three months).
-- Bank Statements: Official statements from banks or credit card companies that show the individual’s address.
-- The POA document must have the address, name, and date appear on the main page (first page), so multiple pages are not required.
-
-5. General best practices:
-- Single picture per file, if two-sided, create one file per side.
-- Handwritten documents are not accepted.
-- Do not crop the image (cut corners, miss parts) try to have margins on all sides of the captured image prior to capturing.
-- Do not use Photoshop or other editing software; do not alter the document in any way.
-- Do not use flash.
-- Take the photo from directly above the document while it is on a flat surface.
-- Avoid colored and noisy background.
-- Do not obstruct the ID (no fingers covering part of the document).
-- Use color images not lower than 200 DPI. The ideal image size is 500Kb. AU10TIX best practice is to accept images with 400 DPI and above.
-- The minimum threshold for the image size for an OK result is 600 W X 370 H pixels.
-- Accepted file types: .bmp .jpg .gif .tif .pdf.
-- Users cannot upload images smaller than 30kb or larger than 5MB.
