Q: My athlete is not showing as age verified. What do I do?
A: There are a few reasons why your athlete may not be shown as eligible, or age verified on their team roster.
1) Your player(s) NSID may be in the pending review status and in this case, it will be orange when you log in. Please allow up to 24 hours for the review to take place.
2) Your player(s) NSID may have been rejected and is awaiting a change or more information. If so, the NSID will be red, and you can view the reason on your Dashboard or on the player’s NSID.
In either case, we encourage you to check your athlete’s status with NSID by reaching out to customer service at admin@nationalsportsid.com
