Here you go...

We could have asked you to upload a copy of your drivers license, passport, or other identification document. But this is a ham radio site, so we decided to allow amateur radio licenses to be used as proof of identity. Note: we use the license as a proof of your identity and NOT as proof that you are licensed to operate on the ham bands! You prove your identity to us by showing us a signed license that nobody else would have been able to acquire. The image you send us must clearly and legibly show your callsign, name, and any official seals or signatures.

>           * Find 3 eQSL.cc users who already have Authenticity Guaranteed certificates. These can be people who personally know you, or who have seen your license. Their Authenticity Guaranteed certificates must NOT have been issued as a result of the Volunteer Guarantor method!
>           * Each of the 3 volunteers fills out a Volunteer Guarantor form, agreeing that they have personal knowledge of you, or have inspected your license and are willing to be responsible for your authenticity as an eQSL.cc user with the stated callsign.
