31Bets Verification: ID and Address Documents
31Bets verification is required before the first withdrawal. For identity checks, a passport or driving licence can be used as photo ID, while a utility bill or bank statement can serve as proof of address.
The address document should be dated within six months. Additional verification checks may also be requested when required, so the standard ID and address documents do not necessarily cover every possible account-specific check.
There is no fixed verification time stated here, and providing the requested documents should not be treated as a guarantee of immediate approval.
How 31Bets Verification Works
The confirmed KYC requirements centre on identity, address and the timing of the first withdrawal. The basic process is:
- Prepare an accepted photo-ID document.
- Prepare proof of address dated within six months.
- Complete KYC before the first withdrawal.
- Follow any additional verification request if one is made.
- Use support if an account-specific verification issue remains unclear.
A passport or driving licence can be used as photo ID. For proof of address, the confirmed examples are a utility bill or bank statement.
This describes the required document types rather than an exact upload sequence. No specific file format, image size or upload route should be assumed unless it is shown during the verification process.
Photo ID for 31Bets KYC
Photo ID is one of the core parts of KYC. The confirmed examples are a passport and a driving licence.
These should be treated as accepted examples rather than an exhaustive list of every document that may ever be available. No additional identity-document type should be assumed where it has not been specified.
Using a Passport for Verification
A passport can be used as photo ID for verification.
No separate nationality restriction, upload-page requirement or passport-specific processing time is stated here. Follow the instructions shown when the document is requested.
Using a Driving Licence
A driving licence is also an accepted photo-ID example for KYC.
The available information does not set out country-specific issuing rules or a separate verification process for driving licences, so those details should not be invented in advance.
Proof of Address for Verification
Proof of address is the second main document category. A utility bill or bank statement can be used for this purpose, and the document should be dated within six months.
The six-month rule matters because it establishes how recent the address evidence should be. No broader list of proof-of-address documents is confirmed here.
Using a Utility Bill
A utility bill can be used as proof of address. It should be dated within six months.
No specific utility category is stated, so the requirement should not be expanded into an unsupported list of electricity, gas, water or other bill types.
Using a Bank Statement
A bank statement can also be used as proof of address, provided it is dated within six months.
No particular statement format is specified here. Whether a specific account accepts a certain document format should be determined from the verification instructions shown at the time.
How Recent Address Documents Must Be
Proof of address should be dated within six months. This applies to the confirmed examples of a utility bill or bank statement.
The requirement is expressed as a six-month window, so there is no need to convert it into an invented number of days or assume a different cut-off.
An older document should not automatically be described as rejected without account-specific evidence. The confirmed rule is simply that proof of address should be dated within six months.
KYC Before the First Withdrawal
KYC is required before the first withdrawal. Creating an account and completing verification are therefore separate stages of the account journey.
Registration establishes the account, while KYC becomes necessary before funds are withdrawn for the first time. The separate withdrawal process covers the routing and processing rules that apply after verification.
This page does not need to repeat withdrawal methods or processing times. Its role is to explain what verification requires and when that verification becomes necessary.
Additional Verification Checks
Additional verification checks may be requested when required. This does not mean that every account will always receive another document request after the standard photo ID and proof of address.
The reason for an additional check should not be guessed. If another verification step appears, follow the instructions attached to that specific request.
It is also not safe to assume that a selfie, source-of-funds document, source-of-wealth document or video check will always be required. Those requirements are not part of the confirmed baseline here.
Preparing Your Verification Documents
The confirmed requirements can be prepared in advance without overcomplicating the process:
- Prepare a passport or driving licence as photo ID.
- Prepare a utility bill or bank statement as proof of address.
- Check that the address document is dated within six months.
- Complete KYC before the first withdrawal.
- Follow any additional verification request if one is made.
No standard file-size limit, image-resolution requirement or mandatory upload format is stated here. Use the instructions provided during verification for those account-specific details.
When Verification Needs More Attention
Not every extra verification step should be treated as a failed KYC check. Additional checks may be requested when required, and the correct next action depends on what the account specifically asks for.
When Additional Checks Are Requested
If an additional verification check appears, follow the instructions attached to that request. The available information does not establish one universal reason why extra checks are requested.
It also does not support a fixed list of extra documents for every account. Use the actual verification request rather than preparing documents that have not been asked for.
When You Need Verification Support
If the account-specific verification status remains unclear, live chat is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Email support is also available.
You can use the support options to ask about an account-specific verification issue. Support availability should not be taken as a promise of immediate document approval or a fixed review time.
