Receiving messages from Persona

Troubleshoot: Receiving email

What to do if a verification email from Persona does not arrive: check spam, confirm your email address spelling, and resend the email from the flow.

1 min read

This guide is for individuals going through a Persona-powered identity verification flow. While we’ve included helpful tips, the verification was set up by the business, service, or organization that asked you to verify. They use Persona as a tool, and they ultimately decide what’s required and can assist with your specific situation, if you’re having trouble.

Overview

In your Persona verification flow, you may have the option to receive an email from Persona. If you are having trouble receiving an email, use this guide to troubleshoot.

Troubleshoot a missing email

If you do NOT receive an email you expected:

  • Check your “spam” folder: Your email may have been sent to a spam folder by your email provider.
  • Double-check spelling: Double-check that you have spelled your email address correctly. In your Persona flow, you may need to tap a “back” arrow to return to the screen where you entered your email address.
  • Resend the email: In your Persona flow, you can request that Persona resend the email.

Who can help

The business that asked you to verify

They set up the verification, see the result, and decide what happens next, so they are the ones who can help with your result, what they need from you, or another try. Look for their help or contact page in the app, site, or email where your verification started.

Need to reach Persona instead?

Persona provides the verification tool for the business that asked you to verify, but it cannot approve, re-run, or override their decision. For any problem with your verification, including a page that will not load or a button that does nothing, we recommend contacting the app or service you are trying to access, which is named in the verification flow.

If you would still like to reach Persona, you can contact Persona support.
