Exness verifies identity for non-residents or foreigners using the same process as for residents, requiring Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Residence (POR) documents. The process is as follows:
- Proof of Identity (POI): Submit a valid government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license, or national ID card) showing your full name, photo, date of birth, and ID number. Passports are often preferred for non-residents as they are universally recognized. The document must be valid (not expired), with all four edges visible and details clear.
- Proof of Residence (POR): Provide a document (e.g., utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement) issued within the last 6 months, showing your full name and current residential address. For non-residents, this can be challenging if they don’t have local utility bills, but Exness accepts documents from the trader’s country of residence or other official documents like tax statements or residency permits.
- Process: Log into your Personal Area, select “Verify Account,” and upload high-quality scans or photos of the required documents. Verification typically takes a few minutes to 24 hours, though manual checks may extend to 48 hours. Non-residents may need to ensure their documents are in English or accompanied by a certified translation if in another language.
- Special Considerations: Exness complies with international regulations, so non-residents must provide documents that meet global AML and KYC standards. If a non-resident lacks a POR document, they can contact Exness support for alternative solutions, such as submitting a residency permit or other official documents. The verification process is the same regardless of residency status, but document requirements may vary slightly by country.
