Upload documents

Transfers are closely monitored and regulated worldwide. To prevent money laundering or other illegal transactions, Opal Transfer applies preventive procedures in accordance with HMRC and FCA rules. For this reason, we may sometimes ask you to send or upload from this page a copy of your ID or passport, proof of address or proof of income source. You will find all the information about how, when and what documents should be sent to us below.

Please read it carefully.

Requirements

Scan or
take a photo

This is one of the easiest ways

to create document copies. The only requirement is that you take good quality images. Your photo should be sharp and clear. Please make sure there are no shadows or obstructions.

Both sides
of your ID card

If you choose to scan a personal identification card, be sure to get an image of both sides. Please ensure that all important information is included with nothing left off; for example, don’t leave the bottom edge off a document if that part carries the serial or document number.

Your
passport copy

If you are going to send us a

copy of your passport, scan both of the pages containing identification information. Remember that high-quality, clear photos without any obstructions are approved

much faster.
