What is Valid Proof of Address (POA)?

To comply with international financial regulations, Looniebit is required by law to verify your identity and residential address before processing transactions. Most clients are asked to submit a Proof of Address (POA) document as part of this verification process.

What Counts as Valid Proof of Address?

You must provide a clear, official document that includes your full name and current residential address.

It must be issued within the last 6 months and meet one of the following categories:

• A recent utility bill (gas, electricity, internet, or landline telephone)
  Note: Mobile phone bills are not accepted
• A car or home insurance policy with your address listed
• A document issued by a government agency that includes your address
• An income or property tax statement or receipt
• A social insurance document showing your address
• A letter from your employer or a licensed employment agency
• A bank, building society, or credit card statement
• A Vehicle Registration Certificate
  
  

What Does Not Count as Proof of Address?

Avoid sending the following, as they will not be accepted:

• Any kind of invoice (e.g., from Amazon, eBay, moving companies, etc.)
• A photo of the envelope only, the full document is required
• We cannot accept documents addressed to family members

How Should the Document Be Captured?

To ensure your POA is accepted, follow these guidelines when taking the photo:

• The image must be clear and in focus
• The entire document must be visible, no cropped edges or cut corners
• No fingers or hands blocking any part of the document
• Place the document on a plain, solid-colored surface (avoid distracting patterns)
• Take the photo in a well-lit environment
• Do not use flash, as it can create light reflections that make the text unreadable
