Account Verification Requirements for Hong Kong Traders

At Exness, all traders residing in Hong Kong must complete account verification before engaging in live trading. This step ensures compliance with Hong Kong’s regulatory framework and protects your assets. To verify your identity, submit official government-issued ID along with valid proof of residence. Accepted IDs include Hong Kong passports, identity cards, or driver’s licenses that clearly show expiration dates and match your registered details. Verification typically completes within 4 to 24 hours on business days, with possible delays during weekends.

Required documents must be recent and clear. Proof of address should be a utility bill or bank statement dated within 90 days. All images or scans should be unedited, fully visible, and free from cropped edges. We safeguard your data using encrypted storage accessible only to authorized compliance personnel.

Step-by-Step Document Upload Process

Login to your Personal Area on the Exness website with your registered credentials. Locate the verification tab inside your account settings. Start the upload by clicking the “Upload Documents” button to submit your files securely.

Identity Document Submission

Choose the type of ID you are uploading from the dropdown menu. Options include Hong Kong Passport or Hong Kong ID Card. Ensure that the selected category corresponds exactly to your document. Capture photos of both sides of your ID under good lighting. Avoid shadows or blurriness to prevent delays.

Upload images via drag-and-drop or by browsing your device files. Supported file formats are JPG, PNG, and PDF, each up to 10MB in size. Confirm the successful upload by checking for a green checkmark.

Proof of Address Requirements

Accepted proof documents include utility bills, bank statements, government letters, or rental agreements. These must show your full name, complete Hong Kong address, and be dated within the past 90 days. Originals or official scanned copies are mandatory; screenshots or altered documents are not valid. Mobile phone and internet bills are acceptable if they meet date and detail conditions.

Common Verification Issues and Solutions

Documents may be rejected if they do not meet technical or regulatory criteria. Typical causes include unclear images, expired IDs, or mismatched personal details. When rejection occurs, review the provided feedback and re-upload corrected documents promptly to avoid delays.

Image Quality Problems

Insufficient lighting causes unreadable text or obscured security marks. Use daylight or bright indoor lights and avoid flash reflections. Make sure the entire document fits within the photo frame with no cropped edges. Maintain a proper distance to keep the text legible.

Information Mismatch Resolution

Ensure your registered name, address, and birthdate perfectly match your documents. Contact our support if discrepancies exist before verification completion. We can update account details if you supply valid legal proof such as marriage certificates or new address documents.
