What documents are required for KYC verification, and can documents in foreign languages be accepted?

To complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process on the Funding Your Trades platform, customers need to submit identification and proof of address documents. Below are the guidelines on acceptable documents and requirements:

Accepted Identification Documents

• A passport is accepted as proof of identity, even if it is the sole identification document. The inclusion of the name in English on the passport is sufficient for KYC verifications. This is particularly relevant in cases where additional forms of ID may be in a different language, like Japanese.

Proof of Address Requirements

• Proof of address documents, such as bank statements or utility bills, are acceptable even if they are written in foreign languages such as Japanese. However, it is essential that these documents show the accurate name and address matching the information on your profile.

Language and Document Validity

The language of your documents is not a barrier to acceptance as long as:

1. Identification documents include English text displaying your correct name.

2. Address documents accurately reflect your name and address details matching your profile.

By adhering to these guidelines, users can successfully complete the KYC process regardless of the language used in their official documents.
