Verifying your address is an important step in the identity verification process when creating a Wirex account. It is necessary to provide proof of address (POA) to confirm the information you provided during the sign-up process. This helps prevent fraud and other illegal activities, and it also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
In this guide, we will outline all the documents that we accept for POA.
What documents are accepted for address verification?
To verify your address, you will need to provide a document that confirms your name and current address. The following documents are accepted for address verification:
