Try an alternate method to verify your identity (US & Canada only)

Ring works with a leading third-party identity verification service provider, to help verify your identity with a photo of yourself and a government-issued ID.

This alternative option requires a valid government-issued ID. Once you've successfully signed in, please update your Account Verification method in Control Centre.
