Address verification is a critical step in ensuring compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. Below, we outline the accepted documents, non-accepted documents, and submission requirements to help you successfully complete the verification process.

Accepted Documents

To verify your address, you must provide a document issued within the last 3 months. Accepted documents include:

  • Utility Bills: Water, gas, electricity, or home internet bills.

  • Bank or Credit Card Statements: A bank statement for a debit, credit, or savings account.

  • Government-Issued Letters or Documents: Official correspondence from government agencies.

  • ID Documents: A government-issued ID that is different from the one used for identity verification and displays your current address.

Non-Accepted Documents

The following documents are not accepted as proof of address:

  • Screenshots or edited documents

  • Mobile phone bills

  • Medical bills or documents

  • Receipts or insurance statements

  • Tax forms

  • Lease or rental agreements

  • Payslips

  • Social security documents

  • P.O. Box addresses

  • Vehicle registrations

Submission Requirements

To ensure your document is accepted, follow these submission guidelines:

  1. Format: Submit the document as either: - A downloadable PDF, or - A clear, unedited photo of the entire physical page (no cropped sections).

  2. Content: The document must clearly display: - Your full name - Your current residential address (matching the address on your account) - The issue date (must be within the last 3 months)

  3. Quality: Ensure the document is legible, complete, and unaltered.

Common Issues and Resolutions

  • Partial Images: Do not submit cropped or partial images of documents. Ensure the entire page is visible.

  • Incorrect Address: The address on the document must match the address listed on your account.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth and successful address verification process.
