Information about documents needed for registration and registration process
Written by Valery
Updated over a week ago
During the registration process, we'll need you to provide us with your:
Full legal name
Picture of government-issued ID*
Selfie
Please note:
Account opening is exclusively through the Crypto.com app therefore please don’t send us the required information by email or through the in-app chat.
*In the majority of the cases, the best document to use is your passport. If you don’t have a passport, a National ID or a Driving License will usually suffice.
(US citizens and residents, however, are required to submit their state-issued driver's license or ID).

If your status does not change within 3 business days, please contact Support through the in-app chat (Contact Support). You may be asked to provide us with additional information.

FAQ:
Why do you need this information?
Compliance is one of our core competence areas
What happens with my personal data?
Please refer to our Privacy Notice
The app won't scan my ID or take my photo?
Please try the manual upload feature if you have been unsuccessful in scanning your document and/or photo on your initial attempt.
The following steps will help you to go through the verification process faster:
Full Legal Name: Make sure that the name you type is the same as the one on the document you provide. If the document uses abbreviations or initials, please use your full names instead. Make sure there are no spelling mistakes
Take a Good ID Picture: Take the picture of the ID in a well-lit environment. Make sure all four corners of the document are visible and there are no reflections (if your phone’s flashlight is on, be sure to switch it off). Clean the lens, hold the phone steady, position the camera in a way that the picture frame touches the edges of the document – once it does, the picture will be taken automatically. After the picture has been captured, make sure that the information on it is legible. If you’re not sure of the quality, retake the picture before submitting it.
Take a Good Picture: When taking the picture, hold the camera steady and follow the green dot with your eyes (this process uses video and photo camera), without turning your head. Try to remain still as much as possible – it won’t take long!
