KYC & Verification
A government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license, national ID, or passport), a selfie/liveness check, and — if requested — a proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement, submitted securely from your dashboard (verification powered by Sumsub).
Updated
Identity verification is completed from your dashboard (verification powered by Sumsub) and typically requires:
- A government-issued photo ID — such as a driver's license, national ID card, or passport.
- A selfie / liveness check — a quick camera step that confirms you're the person on the ID.
- A proof of address, if requested — a recent utility bill, bank statement, or similar. Have one handy in case it's requested.
Tips for passing on the first try:
- Use a current, unexpired document.
- Take photos in good lighting with all four corners of the ID visible and no glare.
- Make sure the name and details on your ID match your TradeSport profile.
- Do the selfie step yourself, live — photos of photos won't pass.
Submitting false or altered documents is treated as fraudulent registration and is grounds for a permanent ban.
If your documents are repeatedly rejected, see "My KYC was rejected — what do I do?" or email support@trade-sport.com.
