What are the best practices when submitting a Proof of Address as an individual?
- Any document submitted must show your current legal name and current address. This is needed to ensure legitimacy of your location. If you go by a nickname on your Escrow.com profile, please ensure the address document shows your full legal name.
-
- Documents cannot be expired. We cannot ‘ok’ a verification with any sort of expired document. Our internal guidelines are:
-
- 3 months for utility bills
- 3 months for banking statements
- Non expired Residence ID, Driving License, or Residence Permit (at least 3 months from the expiration date)
- Leasing/Rental agreement or contract for place of residence (at least 1 year)
- Tax document (at least 1 year)
-
- What are common examples of other documents:
-
- Phone bill
- Mortgage statement
-
- Other type of tax statement
-
- Possible other type of bill that is sent to the home - this would be on a case by case basis and escalated to the compliance team
- Your individual address must be your place of residence. If you want to proceed with a transaction with a company address, please see company guidelines here.
