Account verification is the process of verifying your identity and your address. What is verification for?
To verify your identity and address, you need to upload certain documents. To learn about the requirements for such documents, see Verification rules. In this article we have our recommendations for the freelancers from Cyprus.
Please note:
You need to take a photo of the original printed versions of your documents, and then upload them in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format.
All four corners of the document must be visible in the photo.
Photo should not be cropped or edited.
Electronic documents need to be uploaded in their original format (PDF), screenshots are not accepted.
Verifying your identity
For the first verification step, prepare the following documents:
Passport (Διαβατήριο/Pasaport );
ID card (Δελτίου Ταυτότητας / Kimlik kartı);
Driver's licence;
Residence permit;
International documents of other countries.
Verifying your residential address
To confirm your address, the document must contain your full name, address, and be issued within the last 6 months or have a valid expiry date. We successfully accept following documents:
Utility bill or service contract
Most of the time freelancers from Cyprus verify their address with utility bills and service contracts;
Examples of documents: Utility bill for electricity from Electricity Authority of Cyprus (Αρχή Ηλεκτρισμού Κύπρου (ΑΗΚ)), cable Internet bill from CYTA or Primetel.
The document must contain your name, address, the logo of the organisation;
The document itself must be issued within the last 6 months.
Document issued by the Bank of Cyprus
Examples of documents: any kind of bank/account statement, bank book, or bank reference;
You can create the document yourself in the bank app, website, or contact their support;
Please note that the document must contain your full name, address, and be issued within the last 6 months;
You need to upload the document in PDF format or take a photo of the paper document;
Documents from the following banks have worked well previously: Hellenic Bank (Ελληνική Τράπεζα), Revolut. But you can upload a document from other bank, if it contains all the needed information.
Residential lease agreement
The agreement must be written in typed Greek, Turkish or English language;
You need to upload photos of the pages with your full name, address, validity period and signs of both sides. If it's an electronic agreement, upload it as a PDF file and contact Support via chat so we check it manually;
