Answer a few quick questions about your device and documents to make sure the journey is right for you.

Take clear pictures of your ID documents and upload them.
4. Upload proof of address (if requested)

Tips for successful document upload
Make sure the images you take:
- are clear - all the text is easy to read
- don't have glare or reflections
- show the whole page
If your documents are not accepted online, you can take them to your local branch. Please check which documents we can accept in branch, as they can differ.
