Mtgox verification queue

[buddhacoiner]

In regards to Mtgox 'verification':

their description of who requires 'verification' is somewhat vague.  definitely req'd for anyone dealing with > $10,000 US

verification requires one to fill out the verification form on the mtgox website and the result is a lengthy cue at the moment

however, they state that for first time depositors (say someone wanting to deposit $500 US....which is less than 10 grand obv) an upload of their ID is simply required.  my question: is this different from actual 'verification'?  that is, could a first time depositor forego the lengthy 'verification' process and simply e-mail the mtgox security department with pictures of their passport in order for a wire transfer deposit to go through?

Not every account requires verification.

Every account that requires verification must got through the lengthy verification process.

There are various reasons why verification is being required, even when the amount is below the specified daily AML limits:
