Has anyone undergone their verification process to buy USDT directly and what is required? It used to be 2 forms of photo ID, bank statement, etc, etc, but that was a year ago, is it still the case? I do not mind verifying my identity but I would be more concerned that tether would get hacked and then I'd have to worry about identity theft.
Even though subject is a tad bit old, here goes.
I just did my verifications a few days ago.. I am from Denmark and my country is supported
The process was insane to be honest. I had to:
- Upload proof of residence (not older than a couple months).
- Upload a selfie with me, my passport, and a custom message with date and the word "tether" + my signature it
- Upload the bio-data page of my passport + enter passport number
- Upload both a front and a back scan of my national ID card.
- Connect my mobile phone to their 2fa security
- Connect my Bank account with iban number / Swift etc.
So far, i've waited 3 days time for a response or approval. If anyone is considering verifiying a tether.to account then please be aware they wont accept screenshots etc of your documents, only files scanned are approved.
Wow, this is really crazy! Here I was thinking that some gambling sites had ridiculous requirements for verification, but Tether apparently plays in yet another league.
It is interesting though, that in the bloodbath today, Tether seems to be the stable safe harbour due to its unique nature compared to all the other cryptos.
