Question

Identity Verification Failed - Name Mismatch Despite Matching Names

 Hello,

I'm trying to complete the DocuSign Identity Verification to sign an employment contract.

I am using my Egyptian passport for the identity verification.

During the verification process, I received the error "We couldn't match your name." However, the "Name expected" and the "Name on your ID" shown on the verification page are exactly the same.

Could you please explain why this error occurs even though the names match? Is this a known issue, or is there something I should check before trying again?

I've attached a screenshot of the error for reference.

Thank you for your help.
