Why the “Tentative Approval” Error Happens

Pi Network uses this process to protect its ecosystem from scammers and bots.

At this point, the Pi Network double-checks your documents to make sure everything is real. They also verify your documents and perform a liveness check to confirm you’re not using fake or stolen information. It’s important to follow the standards for document verification and the liveness check.
