Notes:

• There is a thing we noticed after creating an account which is interesting as we received a call from the customer support team of FP Markets to help us start trading on the platform. They also provide us with a tutorial video to know more about the MetaTrader Platform.
• Due also to the requirements of the regulatory bodies that supervise FP Markets, it is necessary that in order to operate with your account you send them a proof that proves your identity and another proof that proves your current address :
• Identity document : You must send a copy of your ID, your passport or driving license . It has to be an official document that clearly shows your identity and that it is valid (the document you send cannot be expired). You can scan any of these documents and send it in PDF, JPG, GIF, or take a photo with your mobile if it is more comfortable for you. In any case, the image must have good quality and be completely readable, otherwise it may give you problems to verify it.
• Proof of address : This is to send a document that shows your current address . You will have to send a recent utility bill (not exceeding 3 months) for electricity, water, gas, landline or Internet (many brokers do not accept, for example, mobile phone bills). You can scan and send it in PDF, JPG, GIF, or take a photo with your mobile. Like the previous document, all the data must be legible and have sufficient quality.
