• UBOs (Ultimate Beneficial Owners)

• The authorized user

3. Upload the photos or scans of the key roles' IDs

Please upload both the front and back of an ID. If the ID has no backside, then the front side or photo page will suffice.

4. Scan and upload the following documents

• Certificate of incorporation or business registration (or an equivalent official document, e.g. business license)

• Memorandum and articles of association

• Directors register

• Shareholders register or Beneficial Ownership structure chart (signed and dated within the last 12 months)

5. Fill out the following templates to complete the verification

Sign, scan, and upload the below templates:

The information collected is for the sole purpose of completing institutional verification. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support or reach out to support@okx.com.
