In order to create a KYC, you may need to submit two commonly requested documents for verification – a Proof of Identity (PoI) and a Proof of Address (PoA).
The list of accepted documents may vary. This depends on your project and local laws.
Common proof of address examples:
- Tax assessment, valid for 1 year;
- mortgage statement;
- Certificate of Voter Registration;
- Correspondence with a government agency regarding receipt of benefits such as pension, unemployment benefit, housing benefit, etc.;
- Cable bill (but not from satellite TV companies);
- Landline phone bill;
Bank statement with the date of issue and the name of the person (the document must not be older than 3 months);
- Utility bill for gas, electricity, water, internet, etc. related to the property (the document must not be older than 3 months);
- A current rental agreement signed by the landlord and tenant;
- From a bank issued credit card statement;
- Letter from a recognized authority or public official (any government-issued correspondence less than 3 months old);
- Employer certificate for PoA;
- Sales contract for a house.
Please note: The document must contain your full name and residential address. Both paper documents and electronic documents (PDF) are accepted.
Examples of alternative proof of residence
The following documents can also be accepted as a valid PoA, but only if they contain the address:
- passport;
- identity card;
- Driving licence.
Please note: one and the same document cannot be used to confirm your identity and your place of residence. So if you are submitting an ID document as a PoA, you should use another document to verify your identity.
Which documents do not count as proof of address?
- Old government correspondence (older than 3 months);
Old bank statements (older than 3 months);
- Old electricity bill related to the property (older than 3 months);
- pension notices;
- insurance policies;
- mobile phone bills;
- medical bills;
- Receipts for purchases;
- insurance certificates;
- Documents with PO Box addresses (except for some countries).
