ID/Passport Copy or Company Registration Certificate (Depending on Number Owner)

For numbers OWNED BY AN INDIVIDUAL: a copy of the individual's passport or government-issued ID is required. The choice depends on the registered owner of the number, not on who is paying for service. Documents must be clear color copies; expired IDs and unsigned/draft certificates are not acceptable.

Address Matching the DID Area Code (Geographic Match)

A physical address that matches the geographic area covered by the phone number's area code. The address must include street name and number, postal/ZIP code, city, and country, and the city/region of the address must fall within the geographic area assigned to the DID's area code. Addresses outside the area code's geographic region are not acceptable for this requirement; a different (broader, national-level) address requirement must be selected if the customer cannot provide a matching local address.

Proof of Address (Recent Bill or Invoice)

A document evidencing the customer's physical address, issued within the past 3 months.

The document must clearly show (1) the full name of the individual or registered business name (matching the order), (2) the complete physical address (street, postal code, city, country), and (3) the document issue date. Mobile phone bills, screenshots, handwritten documents, and bills older than 3 months are not acceptable.
