User Verification

After registering with your email and password, you will be asked to verify your identity.

To verify your account as a natural person, you will need an original ID or passport and a biometric selfie with your mobile/PC camera.

Please note that photos and documents must be fully legible for your process to be validated.

RECOMMENDATION:

  • Clear photos
  • Biometric process without glasses and with a light background.
  • Full and current utility bill showing your name, surname and address declared.

When you have finished, you will see on the screen the “pending” verification status.

Check your e-mail box where you will be notified the status of the verification within 24h.

Can I verify my account if I do not have a utility bill in my own name?

To register successfully you must undergo the verification process in full. You must upload all the documents required.

Can I modify my credentials once the account has been created?

You can only create one account with your ID; you can modify your password credentials for security reasons.

In the home page, select the option "Have you forgotten your password?" and follow the steps.

If you have a problem with your e-mail address, contact the Support Center where you will be guided on how to continue.
