Proof of Address

Accepted proof-of-address documents and submission requirements for business and individual verification.

Summary

Proof of address confirms where a business operates and where its key individuals live. It may be requested during business verification, individual verification of UBOs or authorized persons, and ongoing compliance reviews. Documents must show a physical address, the full legal name, and be issued within the last 90 days.

When it is required

You may need to provide proof of address in the following situations:

  • Business verification — confirming the registered or operating address of your company.
  • Individual verification — confirming the residential address of Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), Authorized Persons, or other key individuals tied to the account.
  • Ongoing reviews — occasionally, we may request updated documents during periodic compliance checks.

Business proof of address

Your business proof of address document must meet the following requirements:

  • Confirms the current registered or operating address of the company
  • Is issued in the legal name of the business (exactly as registered)
  • Was issued within the last 90 days (with some exceptions noted below)
  • Shows a physical address — PO boxes and virtual addresses are not accepted

Accepted business documents

We accept the following documents for business address verification:

  • Bank statement in the business name
  • Utility bill for the business premises (electricity, water, gas, internet)
  • Government-issued correspondence addressed to the business
  • Office or commercial lease agreement (must be current — may be older than 90 days)
  • Business license that displays the company address
  • Company registry extract or registration certificate
  • Tax authority correspondence showing the business address

Individual proof of address

For individual address verification, the document must:

  • Confirm the current residential address of the person
  • Be issued in the individual's full legal name, matching the name provided during onboarding
  • Have been issued within the last 90 days (unless otherwise noted)
  • Show a physical residential address

Accepted individual documents

We accept the following documents for personal address verification:

  • Utility bills (electricity, water, gas, internet, or landline)
  • Bank or credit card statements
  • Government-issued letters (tax notices, social benefit correspondence)
  • Residence registration or certificate of domicile
  • Residential lease or tenancy agreement (must be current)
  • Local authority or municipal tax bills
  • Insurance policies that show a residential address (home, health, or vehicle)
  • Driver's license or national ID card — as long as it includes a full residential address and is still valid

Document quality

A complete, high-quality submission avoids delays and follow-up requests.

Your document must clearly show

  • The full legal name (of the business or individual)
  • The complete address
  • The date of issue
  • The issuer's name or logo (bank, utility company, government body, etc.)

Submission format

  • Upload a clear, color scan or photo of the document
  • Accepted formats: PDF, JPEG, or PNG
  • Maximum file size: 3 MB
  • The entire document must be visible — no cropped or partial images

Photo tips

  • Photograph the original physical document — not a screen or printed copy.
  • Make sure all text is clear and readable, with no glare or reflections.
  • Capture the entire document in the frame — don't crop any edges.
  • Use good lighting and keep the image in focus.
  • If applicable, send both the front and back of the document.

Avoid submitting

  • Photos taken of a screen, monitor, or another device
  • Screenshots, or pictures of printed or photocopied documents
  • Blurry, dark, cropped, or unclear images

Note: Screenshots are not accepted unless explicitly approved by our team.
