Issue with verifying identity

I cannot verify my identity. I’ve recently migrated to the UK and I am unable to verify, it just gives me a error message each time. On top of that, my house is a new build and perhaps that is why the postcode isn’t recognized

 

please help

Hi @StanL, I'm just stepping in for Helen here! 

 

It seems like our automatic verification tool wasn't able to compare the details you enter against sources as the electoral roll. 

You can try entering your information again from your Square Dashboard to verify your identity. Here are some things to keep in mind as you retry:

  • Make sure you provide us with your legal name and home address in the personal information fields, not your business information
  • If your name has changed within the past 6 months, you can try entering your previous legal name
  • If you have changed your home address within the past 6 months, you can try entering your previous home address

 

If you have exhausted all four attempts to verify your identity, you can get in touch with our support team on 0800 098 8008 for assistance.

Is that assistance number a phone number? If so, I have tried to call it and I got a message saying that phone number doesnt exist. I have done everything correctly on verfiying my information and still I get the unable to verify message. What else is left for me to do?
