This guide explains how to verify your residential address and successfully upload the required proof of address document to complete the verification process.

1. What Is Proof of Address?

To complete KYC verification, you need to submit a proof of address (POA) document. Only after submitting the required document can we verify your valid residential address. The POA document is used to confirm your place of residence. During the KYC verification process, you must upload a proof of address document that includes your full name and residential address.

The document you upload must meet specific requirements to be accepted as valid proof of your address. It must be issued in your name and match the name of the MEXC account holder. The document must have been issued within the last three months and contain the following information:

Your full name
Your residential address
Issue date
Issuing authority
Issuing authority details (such as business entity identifier, contact information, or website)

2. What Documents Can Be Used as Proof of Address?

The document you provide must clearly display your full name, residential address, issue date, and the name of the issuing authority. The issue date must be within the last three months. Valid POA documents include, but are not limited to:

Water, electricity or gas bills
Bank statement
Tax assessment
Mortgage Statement / Passbook
Letter or notice from government agencies
Rent bills from real estate agencies
Bills for mobile phone, home phone, internet, or TV
Bank letter
Certificate of voter registration
Bills from other utility providers
Temporary registration sheets / Affidavit / Vehicle registration certificate
A document from the employer confirming the address/Home purchase deed

However, scanned copies or screenshots must not be blurry, reflective, or black and white. Ensure all four corners of the document are visible and that all content is clearly readable.
