How to Verify Account at Deribit
We would like to know our customers. Therefore, we ask our (potential) customers for personal details and identification documents that we will verify. Its purpose is to prevent money laundering, financing of terrorism and other illegal activities. Furthermore, these measures will protect our clients from unauthorized use of their Deribit account.Since September 2021 we have added another security measure to our KYC process. New individual (non-corporate) clients are required to complete a liveness check. This means an extra step in the verification process where a new user has to look into the camera, so our ID verification software can check if the person is the same person as the person in the ID that has been provided. This way, we minimize identity fraud.
Existing clients do not have to complete the additional step of the liveness check.
KYC requirements
Going forward, all new clients need to provide the following information:- Personal details (full name, residential address details, country of residence, date of birth)
- Identification document (passport, driver’s license, ID card)
- Liveness check (camera required) NEW
- Proof of residence (bank statement, utility bill, credit card statement, document local authorities, tax bill)
Additional information or documentation can be requested at the discretion of our Compliance team.
You can check the status of your account in the tab Verification of the menu My Account.
Deribit reserves the right to immediately close any of your accounts and liquidate any open positions if it is determined that you have provided false information about your identity or place of residence.
