Legion's Requirements and Restrictions for KYC Verification
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is an important step for ensuring compliance with legal and security standards. Below is an overview of the requirements and restrictions for Legion's KYC verification process.
Overview of KYC Requirements
Legion requires users to complete KYC verification to confirm their identity and keep the platform secure. You will need to provide a valid identity document and a proof of address.
Identity document requirements
Government-issued and machine-readable (for example, a valid passport). The accepted document type can vary by region.
Your name must appear in a readable script: Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Korean, Chinese, or Japanese.
Must not be a photocopy, screenshot, scan, or illegible image — these may result in rejection.
Proof of address requirements
A bank statement, utility bill, or tax statement showing your current address.
Must include your full name and address.
Must be generated within the last 90 days.
Restrictions and Regional Considerations
Certain restrictions on identification documents apply in regions with higher incidences of fraud or identity theft. For example:
In Nigerian regions, some IDs are restricted due to past instances of fraud and identity farming (e.g. the NIN Slip). To address this, Legion is working to introduce alternative forms of identification while improving its security systems.
How to Update Your KYC Information
You can update your KYC details by accessing the account settings in your Legion app. Navigate to the verification section and make the necessary changes, such as updating your address to match your current proof of address. Ensure the uploaded documents are clear and meet the specific requirements.
FAQs on KYC Verification
Why are certain IDs restricted? Some IDs are restricted due to security concerns, particularly in regions with higher cases of fraudulent activity. Legion continues to enhance its verification mechanisms to address these challenges.
What documents can I use for proof of address? Accepted documents include bank statements, utility bills, and tax statements, provided they are less than 90 days old and contain your full name and address.
Conclusion
KYC verification at Legion ensures a safe and compliant platform for all users. While regional restrictions may apply to certain IDs, users can always rely on providing a valid ID and proof of address for successful verification.
