- In the menu choose Profile → Account Verification.
- Choose the document type (Personal ID or Proof of Address) and click Browse.

Only verified
eWallet owners are able to request withdrawals or transfer funds to other
FXOpen accounts. When your
eWallet status is
«Approved» – the verification procedure has been completed successfully.
Account verification normally takes up to 48 hours on business days. With an increased number of verification requests from our clients, this process may take longer (3-5 business days).
Important! The time required to review your documents and verify your eWallet may increase if you have to re-submit your documents (because the documents were rejected by FXOpen or FXOpen asked you to submit additional documents).
