Been seeing a lot of people complaining about PI KYC delays in Nigerian crypto communities, so figured I'd share what actually worked for me. The whole process on how to do pi kyc is way simpler than people make it sound, honestly took me like 10 minutes once I got all my documents ready.

First thing - make sure you actually qualify. You need to be 18+, have mined PI for at least 30 days, and grab a government ID (passport works best for us Nigerians, or your NIN). The verification part needs a clear face photo too, so good lighting matters.

So here's the real deal on how to do pi kyc: download the PI browser app, go to Mainnet section, finish the checklist tasks first, then unlock the KYC tab. Pick your country, upload your ID photos (front and back), fill in your details matching the ID exactly, then do the liveness check. That's literally it.

Now the annoying part - approval takes forever. Some people get verified in minutes, others wait months depending on validators in your region. There's a 1 PI fee that goes to whoever validates your application. You can check status in your profile (green checkmark = verified, loading circle = still pending).

If you're stuck with a pending application for weeks, definitely double-check that your info matches your ID perfectly. Typos kill applications apparently. The whole process really is straightforward once you know how to do pi kyc properly though. Just be patient with the verification part.
