What is the identity verification requirement for Affiliate and Marketing creators on TikTok Shop?

• Affiliate and Marketing creators must verify their identity before withdrawing commissions from Creator Center; failure to verify blocks commission withdrawal and e-commerce permissions.
• Verification requires submitting personal info (name, DOB, address) and photos of a valid government-issued ID (e.g., U.S. driver’s license, state ID, or passport).

How does the identity verification process work and what steps should creators follow?

• Creators initiate verification via prompts on the Earnings page or during withdrawal, then complete a form and upload ID photos matching their government-issued ID.
• Verification typically takes minutes but can take up to 24 hours; status updates appear in TikTok inbox or Creator Center notifications.

What should creators do if their identity verification is rejected or fails?

• Creators can retry verification up to 10 times if issues are due to poor image quality or technical errors.
• If repeated attempts fail, creators can appeal by submitting a selfie holding their ID; up to 2 appeal attempts are allowed.

Can one ID be used to verify multiple creator accounts, and are there exceptions?

• One government-issued ID can verify up to five creator accounts.
• Official creators are exempt from identity verification, and binding multiple accounts does not require repeated verification unless accessing the Product Marketplace.

What are the implications for creators who do not complete identity verification?

• Without verification, creators cannot withdraw earnings or gain e-commerce permissions on TikTok Shop, limiting their ability to monetize and participate fully in the platform’s commerce features.
