As a licensed and secure crypto exchange, Coinmetro sometimes needs to take extra steps to verify your identityβ€”one of those steps is confirming your residential address.

βœ… What Counts as Valid Proof of Address?

All documents must:

  • Be in your name

  • Show your current residential address

  • Be clearly dated within the required timeframe

  • Not be addressed to a P.O. Box.

We accept the following documents:

  • Bank statements from the past 90 days (must cover at least one full month, or in some cases, three full months)

  • Utility bills (gas, water, or electric) from the past 90 days (covering at least one full month)

  • Income tax letters from the past 12 months

  • Active lease or rental agreements

  • Valid living/residence permits.

πŸ“Œ Submission Tips to Avoid Delays

To make sure your document is accepted the first time, keep these tips in mind:

  • πŸ“Έ Full document required – Ensure the entire page is visible. If submitting a PDF, include all pages.

  • πŸ•΅οΈ No edits or watermarks – The document must be original and unaltered.

  • πŸ‘€ Name and address match – Your name and address must match what you provided during signup.

  • πŸ“‘ For bank statements – Include the full transaction history for the required period.

⚠️ Note: Submitting incomplete or edited documents may result in delays or rejections.

FAQs

πŸ€” Why do I need to show my transaction history on a bank statement?

For security and compliance purposes, we need to confirm the document is genuine. A complete transaction history helps verify this and speeds up the review process.

πŸ“„ Can I submit a scanned document instead of a PDF?

We strongly recommend uploading the full original PDF version of your document. Scanned documents may be rejected if they don’t clearly show all required details.
