Title: Proof of address Post by: acis4283 on August 30, 2013, 06:23:34 AM I've been having an extremely difficult time registering at most of bitcoin exchangers because almost all of them require "Proof of address". I don't understand why they would need paper bill statements as a way to prove your address. I have my address written on my ID. Why isn't that good enough? I've had my paper bills cancelled about a year and a half ago and everything I have is online. I've been declined everytime I tried to use those. I've had one of them ask me to take an online bank statement to my bank and get it stamped but I'm on an extended vacation. Another exchanger deleted my account because they're convinced I'm a hacker trying to sign up with someone else's ID from another country!! <-- retards that I will never do business with. Anybody else have problems with this?

Nothing unusual, when you deal with money online these companies have to check your identity is real and not stollen, to comply with antiterrorist/antilaudering laws Title: Re: Proof of address Post by: acis4283 on August 30, 2013, 07:24:37 AM I have plenty of ID's but no paper bills

But if you show a letter than you received less than 3 months ago, you most likely live here (at least in the past 3 months). You must have bill of phone, electricity of whatever
