Why do I need to provide documents?


We must check our clients' identity due to money laundering regulations. We do as much of this as we can automatically but in some cases, we may need to ask you for more information.  

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 
     

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 10 working days to verify documents.

If we do not receive the documents within 28 working days your account will be suspended.
