  Absolutely! Coinbase requires you to take a picture of yourself when verifying your ID. It's a simple process that involves uploading a clear and legible photo of your government-issued ID, as well as a selfie. This helps Coinbase verify your identity and ensure that you are the person you claim to be. So, make sure to have your ID and a good selfie handy!
