Proof Of Address Submission Guidelines

Understanding Proof of Address

For the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, a Proof of Address (PoA) document is required by Sumsub to verify your residential address.

This is a crucial step to ensure the security and integrity of our platform and your financial transactions.

What Qualifies as a Proof of Address Document?

Your PoA document must include your full name, your current residential address, and the date of issuance. The document should be recent (typically within the last 3 months) to ensure that the information is current.

Acceptable Documents Include:

  • Utility bill (Gas, Water, Electricity, or Internet)
  • Bank statement
  • Credit card statement
  • Tax bill or official government correspondence

Document Requirements:

  1. First Page: The document must have your name, address, and date clearly visible on the first page.
  2. One-Page Document: If possible, the document should be a single page.
  3. Date of Document: The issue date should be within the last 3 months to ensure the information is up to date.
  4. Legibility: The document must be clear and easy to read. Blurry, low-resolution, or otherwise illegible documents will not be accepted.

Unaltered: The document must not be edited or redacted in any way.
