Verification of personal data and permanent address is performed by verifying proof of identity (ID or passport) and by another document issued by the state authority (driving license or birth certificate).
If documents do not contain address it is needful to upload certificate issued by a state authority which contain your name and permanent address (e.g. listing from Czech Social Security Administration – OSSZ, a letter from the tax office, etc.). It is not acceptable to proof client’s address with invoice for gas, electricity or any other invoice or bill.
Copies of documents must be uploaded in an appropriate quality to be easily readable and Client can be identified. Documents must be valid.
To identify legal persons, we require the same documents from individuals who act as a legal entity. In a case of any doubt we reserve a right to make further checks.
