# As an Admin – How to Upload a Proof of Birth (PoB) for US Club Soccer Registration

## This article will show you how and where to upload a proof of birth (PoB) to a user's profile in GotSport to meet US Club Soccer registration requirements.

**Note**: All Youth – Competitive players must have a proof of birth (or PoB) verified by US Club Soccer staff. If the player’s PoB was verified by another association, such as a state association, the Competitive-level player will still need to be verified by US Club Soccer as the verification does not carry over to other affiliations.

 

US Club Soccer checks the player’s full legal name, gender and date of birth, but the entire document must be uploaded to check authenticity. Altering the document in any way is not allowed. Altered PoBs will be tendered to US Club Soccer’s Safeguarding and Compliance team and will result in disciplinary action, including suspension, among other potential outcomes.

 

Acceptable PoB documents include: a government-issued birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, or other document issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services.

 

US Club Soccer does not accept hospital and medical center certificates, baptismal or other religious certificates and social security cards. Please do not upload those documents into GotSport.

**If you are a parent of a player that needs to upload documents, please see this guide for:** [**As a Parent - How to Upload a Proof of Birth (PoB) for US Club Soccer Registration**](https://support.gotsport.com/as-a-parent-how-to-upload-a-proof-of-birth-pob-for-us-club-soccer-registration?hsLang=en-us)

**Troubleshooting**

- Make sure the document is not too large. GotSport will only accept documents under 20 mb.
- Make sure the document is either a PDF, JPG, JPEG or PNG file.
- Photos taken on an iPhone with livephoto mode (HEIC format) will not upload correctly.
- Ensure the photo or document is clear (not blurry), shows the entire document and is not altered, redacted or edited in any way.
- Acceptable PoB documents include: a government-issued birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, or other document issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services. US Club Soccer does not accept hospital and medical center certificates, baptismal or other religious certificates and social security cards.
