This is usually done instantaneously, but in some cases we may need to ask you to upload some documents to your account so we can review them manually.
Please make sure that any documents you upload:
- match the details saved in your Vanguard account (for example, please make sure your name matches exactly)
- show the full document and aren’t cropped
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 three weeks to verify documents.
If we need any extra information, we'll contact you as soon as possible. And once your verification is complete we'll send you a secure message letting you know your Vanguard account is fully up and running.
