  Coinbase asks users to verify their identity multiple times as a security measure. By doing so, Coinbase can ensure that the person accessing the account is the actual account holder and not someone trying to gain unauthorized access. This helps protect users' funds and prevents fraudulent activities.

  Coinbase wants to maintain a high level of security and compliance with regulatory requirements. Re-verifying identity helps Coinbase stay in line with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. It also helps prevent identity theft and fraud, ensuring a safe trading environment for all users.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can tell you that Coinbase is not the only exchange that requires multiple identity verifications. Many reputable exchanges have similar procedures in place to protect users and comply with regulations. It may seem inconvenient, but it's a necessary step to ensure the safety and integrity of the platform.
