Here's what qualifies and how to make your submission is approved quickly. #### Accepted Documents for Address Verification MetroTrade accepts any of the following documents to complete an address verification request. Each document must clearly show your **full name**, **current residential address**, and **issue date**, and must be dated within the last 90 days. - **Utility Bill** (gas, water, electricity, internet, or landline phone) - **Monthly Bank Statement** - **Homeowner’s Insurance** - **Renter’s Insurance** - **Mortgage Statement** - **Brokerage Account Statement** - **Notarized Statement of Residence** - **Current Lease Agreement** (must be signed by both renter and landlord; month-to-month leases are not accepted) - **Certificate of Residence** - **Non-Expired Government-Issued ID Card**, including a driver’s license - **Tax Filing Documents** - **US-based 401k Statements** #### Requirements for All Submissions Before uploading, make sure your document meets both of these requirements: - The document is in the applicant’s name - The address on the document matches the address submitted in your account application **Important:** If your document is not in English, our New Accounts team may ask for an official translated copy. To comply with US regulations, the translation must be done by a professional translation service. Automatic or machine translations are not accepted. #### Additional Requirements for Utility Bills and Bank Statements If you’re submitting a **Utility Bill** or **Monthly Bank Statement**, please also make sure: - It was issued within the past 90 days - The image shows the entire first page of the bill or statement (you may redact transaction details or balances) - It’s an actual bill or statement, not promotional or marketing material - If it’s a paper document, it was removed from its envelope before being scanned or photographed - The file is a PDF of the full bill or statement, not a screenshot or image taken from a website #### What Happens Next Meeting these requirements helps prevent delays in processing your application. After you submit your document, please allow 1–2 business days for our New Accounts team to review it. - [Account Information](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/account-information?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Eligibility](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/account-information?hsLang=en#account-eligibility) - [Account Management / Profile](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/account-information?hsLang=en#account-management-profile) - [Account Statements & Reporting](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/account-information?hsLang=en#account-statements-reporting) - [Funding & Withdrawals](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/funding-withdrawals?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Legacy FCM Accounts (Dorman Trading)](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/funding-withdrawals?hsLang=en#legacy-fcm-accounts-dorman-trading) - [MetroTrade Platform](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Charting](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#charting) - [Order Entry & Trade Execution](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#order-entry-trade-execution) - [Position & Risk Management](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#position-risk-management) - [Market Data & Watchlists](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#market-data-watchlists) - [Mobile App](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#mobile-app) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrade-platform?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Pricing & Fees](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/pricing-fees?hsLang=en) - [Margins & Trading Info](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/margins-trading-info?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Margin & Risk](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/margins-trading-info?hsLang=en#margin-risk) - [Trading Hours & Market Schedule](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/margins-trading-info?hsLang=en#trading-hours-market-schedule) - [About MetroTrade](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/about-metrotrade?hsLang=en) - [MetroTrader Platform (Legacy)](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrader-platform-legacy?hsLang=en#main-content) - [MetroTrader Web](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrader-platform-legacy?hsLang=en#metrotrader-web) - [MetroTrader App](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrader-platform-legacy?hsLang=en#metrotrader-app) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/metrotrader-platform-legacy?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Products & Specs](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/products-specs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Information](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/products-specs?hsLang=en#product-information) - [Contract Specs](https://help.metrotrade.com/kb/products-specs?hsLang=en#contract-specs) [![MetroTrade](https://help.metrotrade.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mt-fb-profile.png?width=50&height=50&name=mt-fb-profile.png "MetroTrade")](https://metrotrade.com) Chicago, IL USA [mailto:support@metrotrade.com](mailto:support@metrotrade.com) Copyright © 2026, MetroTrade
