This problem is easily solved. Let's look at the screenshot where VKontakte requires a passport:
Question: where is the word “passport” there? Look again. Read it. Do not rush. It says that you need a photo of the document with your first name, last name and photo. Document. A document is not the same as a passport. That is, another document that contains your name, surname, and photograph will do! It doesn't have to be a passport.
There are no photos on the page. How to restore access if there is no linked number?
When for some reason you cannot restore access to your VK page via SMS, you have to submit a request for restoration.
To restore access to your VKontakte page, it is necessary that it contain not only your real first and last name, but also a photograph by which you can be recognized by sight. But what to do if this photo is not there? How to restore access without a photo? The fact is that the coincidence of the first and last name with yours is not enough. How to make sure that it is the owner of the page and not a person with the same first and last name? Therefore, a restoration application submitted in the usual way will be rejected with the comment “Access cannot be restored. There are no photographs on the page that can be used to identify its real owner.”
SIM card recovery
The easiest way to return a page on a social network is to restore the SIM card. If the number was registered to you or your friend/relative, contact the communication salon for help. Don't forget to bring your passport so that the mobile operator employee can easily identify you.
Note!
If a SIM card was purchased in one region, and you try to restore it while in another, the operator may refuse to provide you with the service. In this case, you can either go to the issuing region yourself or order courier delivery.
How to solve the problem if there is no photo? Here are the options:
- If VK allows you to restore access via SMS, then the easiest thing is to restore the SIM card to which the page is linked. The following conditions must be met:
- You didn't use this number for another page.
- They will restore your SIM card with this number (you need to go to your mobile operator with your passport and find out).
- VK allows you to restore access via SMS to this specific page (you can easily check this by using the “Forgot your password” function, entering the number and last name on the page - here are the instructions). For those who use several pages, violating the rules, this opportunity sometimes disappears, and in this case, a SIM card with a number will not help.
- Think about what other evidence you have and write to VK support agents (but we don’t know whether this will help or not). For example, if you have access to linked mail, knowledge of old passwords, this can work in your favor. In addition, the rules for using the VKontakte website did not oblige you to post a personal photo, you can use this as an argument. On the other hand, you must understand the position of the support service: they cannot give away a page if they are not 100% sure that you are its real owner. Be brief and polite.
VK PAY wallet identification
Identification allows you to obtain the “Advanced” status for your account. Let's look at how to activate the VK Pay wallet and at the same time open access to all the built-in functions and capabilities:
- Log in to the payment system and click on the “Fill” button at the top of the menu, as shown in the screenshot;
- In the next window you will need to enter information regarding personal data - full name, passport, SNILS or other additional document confirming your identity;
- Next, submit your application and wait for the information to be verified. At the end you will receive a notification.
You must enter valid details of your passport and other documents. Information related to passport data does not reach the developers in open form and cannot be verified, but TIN or SNILS data must be verified.
What to do if there are photos on the page, but VK writes that there are none?
Not every photo on the page is suitable for identification. For example, photos from the wall will not work, because they may show completely different people. A photo that is of poor quality, dark, blurry, or in which the entire face is not visible will also not be suitable. It is impossible to identify a person from such a photo. We talked about this in more detail here:
If there is definitely a photo on the page (for example, among avatars) and you think that it fits the conditions, but for some reason it was not accepted, write to the agents with a link to this photo and ask them if access can be restored to the page if you take it into account. Perhaps they just didn't notice him.
But it says there that you need a document with a photo!
Right. It says that you need a document with a photo. But you don't have it. So you can send your birth certificate - they will accept it. The support service understands that you do not have a passport yet due to your age. But they may ask you to take a photo with your birth certificate. Therefore, you need to check that they responded to your application - to do this, you need to go there using the link that comes to your phone via SMS.
To be on the safe side, you can immediately take a photo, holding the birth certificate next to your face, and attach this photo to the application. It should show both your face and your testimony, and it should all be clear and well-lit. How to take a high-quality photo is described here (it talks about a photo in the background of the application, but the advice is also suitable in this case).
Is it possible to restore a fake without a photo?
No, fake pages cannot be restored.
It’s rare that anyone has never looked for how to recover a password on VK, because today every person has profiles on social networks and instant messengers. It is difficult to remember the keys, and it is unsafe to use the same ones everywhere.
If you really are the owner of the VK page, and remember the data you entered during registration, plus you use the same mobile phone, then you can quickly restore the data without any problems. But if you are looking for a way to recover your VKontakte password without a phone number, it will take more time.
Is restoration always free?
If you have forgotten your VKontakte password and are looking for how to restore access quickly, never try to solve the problem through third-party resources, applications, and specialists. The only way to restore access is through the official VK website. The rest of the companies are ordinary hackers. Be wary if you are asked to pay for a service, send an SMS, or send money to your wallet.
If your device is infected with a virus, you will most likely receive a message asking you to pay to restore access. We do not recommend sending money to criminals; you may be deceived. First, scan your device with a powerful antivirus. If this does not help, contact a computer technician - you may have to reinstall the operating system.
You may think that the path is too difficult. But remember, this is designed to protect your content. Let personal belongings, even virtual ones, never fall into the wrong hands.
Situations often arise on the VKontakte social network when users lose access to their profile. Most often this happens due to hacking. Or if you have forgotten your login and password. In these cases, you can restore the page in different ways, depending on the reason for its loss.
How to register in VK Pei without a passport
Unfortunately, if you don’t have a passport, you won’t be able to register a wallet on VKontakte. Today, the identified account is available only to citizens of the Russian Federation. Perhaps in the future the developers will decide to expand the territory and offer citizens of other countries to use their service.
But, if you do not live in Russia, this does not mean that you will not be able to register in the payment system. It is available to account holders on the provided social network. Top up your account, make payments, pay for services or participate in promotions.
Deleted page
Restoring access to a self-deleted profile is the easiest way to restore it. This can be done within 7 months after deletion , otherwise the ability to revive the account will be completely lost. Everything is very simple:
- You need to follow the link vk.com. The site will show that the page has been deleted. To return it, just click the “restore your page” button.
- After this, a notification will appear indicating that all profile information has been completely restored, for which you need to click the appropriate button.
If your account is blocked
The reason for freezing the page is a violation of the user agreement, which is accepted when registering on a social network. The most common variations of this are:
- spam (it is sometimes used to promote a group on VK);
- complaints from other users;
- distribution of prohibited content;
- creating a fake account.
If these rules were not violated, it means that the page was hacked by scammers. To return your profile you will have to:
- Log in to VK (vk.com) using your previous login and password. A notification about temporary blocking will appear on the page.
- To restore your account, enter the mobile phone number that was used for registration in a special field.
- You will receive an SMS with a confirmation code - you need to write it down in the form.
- To keep your profile secure, you must create a new password.
If the above steps do not help, you will have to contact VK support service.
Important: it will not be possible to restore access to the page before the period specified in the blocking notice. Unfreezing an account is always free, and offers to speed up the process for money are a scam.
Types of account and their differences
If you decide to create a VK Pay account, you should familiarize yourself with their types. How might they be different? There are currently two types of wallets:
- Base. This is the initial account that is assigned automatically after registration in the system. You are allowed to keep no more than 15,000 rubles in your wallet. The maximum limit per month is 40,000 rubles. However, it will not be possible to withdraw funds to a bank card; a standard account does not provide for this operation.
- Advanced. Available after identification. As a result, it is allowed to store withdrawals of funds to the card or transfers in the service.
If you have forgotten your login or password
There are situations when a login or password is replaced by a hacker or accidentally forgotten. But there is nothing complicated about data recovery:
- First, it is recommended to try logging in using the link - vk.com.
- If, when entering information to access the page, it turns out to be incorrect, you need to click on the “Forgot your password or can’t log in?” button.
- Then you should indicate the phone number or email address that was used during registration. An authorization code will be sent to them. Then you need to come up with a new password. If the user does not remember this data, you need to click on the link just below.
- The form indicates the page address. If it is unknown to the user, you can find yourself through a people search.
- After this, in the application fields you need to enter all the data that the page owner remembers - available phone number, old number, previous email and password. Then you need to click the “Submit Application” button. If the information provided is sufficient for recovery, an authorization code will be sent to the specified number.
Important: in difficult cases of account recovery, the VK support service may request passport information and a photo taken in front of a computer with an open page.
Harm to Internet business
There will be an outflow of citizens from Russian social networks. And not because they are for anonymity, etc. Ordinary citizens are afraid to provide their passport details again; it would be easier not to register and not to use this or that social network. Fewer users means less income for services.
Another excessive regulation will hit online business. According to various sources, Runet now brings in 3-5% of the country’s GDP. Everyone is saying that we need to get off the oil needle, let’s not ruin the developing sector of the economy.
