Copy of your ID [Solved]

Yes. Somehow cgtrader needs to verify your identity. I believe uploading a photo of your passport or ID is a common way to do this on the internet.

Hi there,

The requirements of the ID is due to the laws we are under. Here's more shortened information on why we ask for the copy of your ID:

From "COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2003/48/EC of 3 June 2003, on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments"
Quote:
"The paying agent (CGTrader) shall establish the identity of the beneficial owner (seller on CGTrader) on the basis of minimum standards which vary according to when relations between the paying agent and the recipient of the interest are entered into, as follows; for contractual relations entered into, or transactions carried out in the absence of contractual relations, on or after 1 January 2004, the paying agent shall establish the identity of the beneficial owner, consisting of the name, address and, if there is one, the tax identification number allocated by the Member State of residence for tax purposes. These details shall be established on the basis of the passport or of the official identity card presented by the beneficial owner."

Eddie, CGTrader
