Title: Dwolla to MtGox ?
Post by: rainingbitcoins on July 06, 2012, 10:49:13 PM
Before when I used MtGox and I wanted to deposit money into my account from Dwolla, I'd just click on Dwolla under Funding Options and there would be a link I could click on that would take me to Dwolla's site and it would fill in the relevant information for me. I never really paid much attention to what numbers it was filling in because it was automated. Now when I click on Dwolla, I just get a page of text about verified accounts (my Dwolla account is verified) and no indication as to how to send money from Dwolla to MtGox. No link, no instructions, no nothing. This all worked fine when I last used it a month ago.

Mt. Gox now has the requirement that you verify your identity with them before you can further add funds from Dwolla.  This involves sending to Mt. Gox a color scan of your photo ID.

Here's the link that contains the instructions and form (where you upload your scan):

 - https://mtgox.com/forms/verification
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mtgox#Verified_.28Level_1.29

Once your Mt. Gox account shows "verified", then you can add funds from Dwolla.  (Others who are transferring for their first time might still be in Dwolla's 30-day probationary period, but it sounds like you won't have to worry about that.)

Hmm thanks.

It says you need a drivers license (have that) and also a utility bill or "certificate of residency issued by your local government". None of the utilities are in my name, and I don't even know what a certificate of residency is supposed to be. I thought my drivers license proved that. What am I supposed to do here?


edit: Nevermind. It looks like I can get one of those from the city. Thanks for your help.
