What Is KYC at a Prop Firm, and What Documents Do You Need?

November 4, 2026
What Is KYC at a Prop Firm, and What Documents Do You Need?

KYC means Know Your Customer. It is how a firm confirms that you are who you say you are. You need it before you get a funded account.

What you need

  • A passport or national ID
  • Proof of address
  • A selfie with your ID

Your documents must be clear and valid, and they must match the details on your account.

When to do it

KYC is required before your funded account is issued. Do it soon after you buy your challenge. Then nothing slows you down when you pass.

How to get approved the first time

  • Use the name on your ID when you sign up.
  • Take photos in good light.
  • Show all four corners of the document.
  • Do not use an expired ID.
  • Make sure your address matches your proof of address.

Why firms do this

KYC protects you and the firm. It stops people from using stolen details and opening several accounts. It also makes sure that your rewards go to you.

Things that cause problems

  • A friend or family member trades your account. That is not allowed.
  • Your account is used from different countries in a short time. We may ask you to confirm it was you.

Who can join

You must be 18 or older and not in a restricted or sanctioned country. The full conditions are in our Terms and Conditions.
