How do I verify my identity?

Based on European legislation, Bitvavo is obliged to identify users. Complete your verification by uploading a valid proof of identity, passport or driver's license.
The steps are explained below.

Step 1) Verify your identity

  1. Go to the 'Verification' page.

  2. The Identity verification process consists of 2 parts - a photo of your identity document, and a recording of your face. Click 'Verify Identity' to start the verification.
