After successfully creating your account and verifying your email, we'll need to verify your identity. Before you can make a transaction on Grey, it is expected that you must have completed your KYC and document verification to checkmate fraud.


Here’s a guide to completing your document verification:

  • Sign in to your account after you have verified your email.

  • On the home page, click on the “Complete My Account Setup” button.

  • You’ll be redirected to the document verification portal, do ensure to follow the prompts.

Tips for document verification

  • Upload a valid Government-Issued ID (Driver’s license, national ID card, or International passport). A photo of your original valid ID is required ✅ and not a copy (Scanned/photocopied). ❌

  • All four corners of your ID should be visible.

  • All details on your ID should be clear and legible; any missing information renders the document invalid; turn off your flash to avoid any glare on the document.

  • Edited and altered documents are not supported.

  • The details on the ID must match your Grey account.

Supported documents

You'll need to provide the original copy of the following:

  • Voter's card

Guidelines for uploading a selfie

  • The person on the ID must match the video selfie.
