What is Account Verification?

Verification in digital options is the process in which the Client confirms their personal data by providing additional documents to the Company. The verification conditions are very simple, and the list of required documents is minimal. For example, the Company may request:

  • Provide a color scanned copy of the first page of the Client’s passport (the page with the photo).
  • Complete identification by submitting a “selfie” (a photo of yourself).
  • Confirm the Client’s registered address (place of residence), etc.
    The Company may request additional documents if it is impossible to fully verify the Client’s identity with the provided data. Once the electronic copies of the documents are sent to the Company, the Client will need to wait a while for the data to be verified.

Step-by-Step Account Verification Process

  1. Log in to your account
    Go to the official Quotex website and log in using your email and password.
  2. Go to profile settings
    After logging in, open the “Profile” section. Find the “Document Verification” or “Upload Documents” tab.
  3. Prepare the required documents
    To complete the verification, the following documents are required:
  • Proof of identity: Passport, national ID, or driver’s license. The document must be valid and clearly visible.
  • Proof of address (if needed): A utility bill, bank statement, or other official document with your name and address, issued no later than 3 months ago.
  1. Upload documents
    Click the “Upload Documents” button. Follow the instructions to upload scanned copies or clear photographs of the required documents. Make sure the images are of high quality and all information is legible.
  2. Submit for review
    After uploading the documents, click “Submit.” Verification typically takes no more than 5 business days from the moment the requested documents are received by the Company.
  3. Check the verification status
    Return to the “Verification” section to check the status of your application. If the documents are approved, your account will be verified. If any issues arise, you will receive instructions on how to fix them.

When do I need to verify my account?

If verification is required, you will receive a notification by email and/or SMS. The Company uses the contact information you provided during registration (e.g., your email address and phone number). Therefore, make sure to provide accurate and up-to-date information.

How do I know if I’ve successfully passed the verification?

Once the verification process is complete, you will receive a notification by email and/or SMS that your account has been verified and you can continue using the trading platform.

How long does the verification process take?

The verification process takes no more than 5 (five) business days from the moment the Company receives the requested documents.

Can I provide someone else’s (fake) data during registration on the website?

No. The Client must register on the Company’s website independently, providing full and accurate information about themselves, filling in all fields in the registration form, and keeping this information up to date. If the Company needs to conduct further identity checks, it may request additional documents or invite the Client to their office. If the data entered during registration does not match the documents provided, your personal profile may be blocked.

Why is verification necessary?

Verification is necessary for several key purposes:

  • Transaction security. Verification helps prevent unauthorized access to the account and protects your funds. This is particularly important when withdrawing funds or making large deposits.
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements. Companies offering financial services are required to comply with strict regulations that mandate client verification to prevent fraud and money laundering.
  • Confirming account authenticity. Verification helps prevent the use of fake data, ensuring that all transactions are conducted legally and based on the Client’s genuine information.

What can I do after successful verification?

After successful verification, you will be able to:

  • Withdraw funds without restrictions.
  • Safely use all platform features.
  • Trade with confidence, knowing your account is fully legitimate.

Tips for successful verification

  • Use a high-quality scanner or camera to take clear images of the documents.
  • Ensure that your name and other details in the documents match the information you provided during registration.
  • Do not crop or edit documents to preserve their authenticity.
  • Regularly check your email for updates on the verification status.

It is simple and quick when you provide the correct and up-to-date documents.
