Client requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges are established individually by each service, depending on its jurisdiction, compliance policies, and applicable legislation. In most cases, KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures are implemented to verify the client’s identity and prevent money laundering. Some platforms require only basic verification - passport, selfie, and contact details. Others may request: proof of address; information on the source of funds; corporate documents (for legal entities); bank statements; tax identification numbers. The scope of requirements may also depend on the transaction volume: the larger the transaction amount, the higher the level of verification. Thus, there are no universal requirements - they are determined by the internal policies of each platform.
