  4. Verify email through email they send you
  5. Enter phone number and verify through code they send you

  7. If they are able to instantly verify you at this point you are ready to fund and trade!

If they are unable to instantly verify your identity you will need to provide the following:

  1. Clear copies of the front and back of your government issued ID
  2. A selfie with you holding the same ID and a piece of paper with the word “CoinSmart” and today’s date on it.
  3. A copy of a recent utility bill with your name and address.

After providing this information CoinSmart will manually verify your identity and you will then be able to fund your account and begin trading.
