Verify your identity

Verify your identity

icon
Please start the verification process when you have some time and you will not be distracted. For security reasons, our KYC/AML provider’s session expires, if you are inactive for some time. In this case, you have 3 attempts to complete your KYC application, i.e., submit your information. Note: - If you had the right to a free SBID and unsuccessfully used your 3 tries, you lose the right to a free SBID, but you can pay for it using your SOULB balance or a credit card. - If your KYC gets rejected by the KYC/AML provider, you can not start the process again. Contact the support team at info@sbid.io from your SBID-registered email address and report your rejection. The email must be in English. - The SBID is valid for 24 months from the moment your identity is verified.

Please note A Personal Investor and a Personal Enhanced Investor* are the same category of investor. The only difference between them is the investment limit and two more steps of the KYC process. So you can’t have both SBIDs. *Personal Enhanced Investor’s SBID (SBID P+) is unavailable at the moment.
