Verification

Which documents a check accepts, what usually delays it, and how to avoid a second attempt.

What the check asks for, and what it unlocks.

What the check is for

An account is verified before it can be funded or withdrawn from. It is a legal requirement on the broker, not an obstacle it invented.

Until it passes, FxPro Markets Direct Costa Rica Latam SRL cannot process a withdrawal, which is why it is worth finishing before you deposit rather than after.

Documents that usually pass first time

Proof of identity: a passport or national ID, all four corners in frame, nothing cropped, no glare over the photo or the machine-readable lines.

Proof of address: a utility bill or bank statement, normally issued within the last three months, showing the same name and the same address as the account.

Three things to fix before you upload, not after.

What sends a document back

A screenshot of a banking app instead of a statement; a document in a name that differs by a middle name or a transliteration; an address that does not match the one typed into the form; an expired ID.

Fix the mismatch in the account details first, then upload — a second rejected upload is slower than one correction.

FAQ

Common questions

What documents usually send a Nigerian verification submission back?

Blurred edges, glare on the photo, cropped corners, and a name that does not match the account exactly are the usual causes. The document must be valid, show your full name as typed in the form, and be readable in all four corners. Send a colour image of the whole page, not a screenshot or a photo of a phone screen.

Can I use my bank statement as proof of address for FxPro?

A bank statement can work as proof of address if it shows your name and your residential address clearly and is recent enough for the reviewer. The exact age limit is set by the broker's policy, so check the current requirement in your account dashboard rather than guessing. A document that matches the address you typed in the form avoids a back-and-forth.

Why does the address on my ID have to match the address I entered?

The reviewer is confirming that the person on the ID is the person opening the account, and an address mismatch is the fastest way to trigger a manual query. If you have moved, enter your current address and support it with a document that shows the same address. Consistency across all fields is what clears the check.

How long should I expect verification to take, and can I trade before it clears?

Timing is set by the broker and depends on document quality and queue volume, so treat any figure you hear as an estimate rather than a promise. What you can control is sending clean documents on the first attempt. Until verification clears, expect funding and withdrawal to be restricted, so do not plan a first gold trade around an unverified account.

Is my verification data safe, and who regulates the broker holding it?

Data handling depends on the entity that holds your account, which for Nigeria is FxPro Markets Direct Costa Rica Latam SRL, so read that entity's privacy terms rather than assuming UK or EU rules apply. On the regulatory side, FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA; confirm any broker on the SEC Nigeria register of capital market operators.
