  Coinbase usually completes the identification verification process within a couple of days. However, if you haven't received any updates after a few days, it's a good idea to reach out to their customer support for assistance.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can tell you that Coinbase's identification verification process usually takes around 1 to 3 business days. However, keep in mind that this is just an estimate and it may take longer during peak times when there is a high influx of new users.

  Coinbase's identification verification process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. It really depends on various factors such as the accuracy of the documents you submitted and the current workload of their verification team. Just make sure to double-check your documents and be patient while waiting for the verification to be completed.

  From my personal experience, Coinbase usually verifies identification within 24 hours. However, it's important to note that this timeframe can be longer during periods of high demand. If you're in a rush, you may want to consider using an alternative exchange that offers faster verification times.

  Coinbase aims to verify identification within 24 to 48 hours. However, it's not uncommon for the process to take a bit longer, especially during busy periods. If you're concerned about the delay, you can always contact Coinbase's support team for an update on your verification status.
