# KYC

We require our customers to pass the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure to create an order. The KYC requirement depends on a country, order amount, and a flow (on-ramp or off-ramp). 

There are two levels of KYC:

* <mark style="color:yellow;">**basic**</mark>
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**advanced**</mark>

For basic KYC, a user needs to select an ID type he wants to submit, provide his first name, last name, date of birth, and an ID number.

For advanced KYC, a user needs to select an ID type they would like to submit, provide their first name, last name, and date of birth, and instead of an ID number, they have to submit 3 photos:

* selfie
* front of the document
* back of the document

KYC requirements for countries:
