How to verify a GCash account using Student ID (Two Options)

Do you need to verify your GCash account but you only have a student ID as of the moment? Worry no more because in this tutorial we will teach you how to get verified in GCash without using valid IDs, so you can enjoy all its features including cash-ins, fund transfers and withdrawals with no restrictions.

The first option for you to get verified is by filling out a short online form and then wait for GCash to manually verify and upgrade your account. This can take a few days to a few weeks to complete. Your alternative option is to go to the Villarica branch and have your student ID used for the verification process. Take note that your school ID must be current and not expired, and that your name and date of birth match the information on your student ID. Otherwise, your student ID may be denied and you will have to redo the verification process with a different ID.

Option 1: Submit a ticket

Unfortunately, you can’t use your student ID for the GCash app’s verification process because it’s not in the suggested list of valid IDs for GCash verification. Instead, you can submit a ticket to GCash’s support team, who will manually verify and upgrade your account. For your support ticket, make sure to attach a clear photo of your student ID.

Please note, however, that opening a support ticket does not guarantee that your GCash account will be verified. Although, some users effectively used this method to validate their GCash accounts, others have claimed the contrary. In the end, it is up to GCash to decide whether or not to validate your account.

To validate your GCash account using your student ID, follow this step-by-step procedure:

Step 1: On your desktop or mobile device, go to the GCash submit a request page.

You can also open the GCash app, tap the Profile, and then select Help to submit a ticket. To access the support ticket form, tap “Submit a Ticket.”
