This is usually done straightaway, but in some cases, we may need you to upload some documents to your account so we can review them.
Make sure any documents you upload:
match the details saved in your Vanguard account (for example, make sure your name matches exactly)
show the full document and are not cropped or redacted in any way
This will help us verify your identity or bank account as quickly as possible.
Once you've uploaded your documents, we'll start reviewing them as soon as we can. It can take up to 5 working days.
If we need any extra information, we'll contact you as soon as possible. When your verification is complete, we'll send you a secure message letting you know your Vanguard account is fully up and running.
