Why do I have to verify my identity?

Verification of your identity is often required by the onramp you choose due to legal regulations. These laws are designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of illegal activities, ensuring safer transactions for all users.

Identity verification, also known as KYC (Know Your Customer), helps comply with these legal requirements. Each onramp handles its own identity verification process, which may include uploading a copy of your passport or other identity documents. However, some onramps, like Wyre, do not require document uploads for transactions.
