Question by alkalinezachmo: when funding a forex account, do you need to give the company a copy of your passport and utility bill?
I am looking to open an eToro account and I am not comfortable with giving a copy of my passport and a utility bill to the company, are these things necessary? Also if you have a good forex site for people with small amounts of funds such as myself, what would you be using? Thank you.
Have you guys used etoro? I like how its setup and the pips are really low. Plus the starting amount is very small.

If the site is legit than don’t worry just send them what they need. I have done this and I have a very good site for you, but you need to study Forex market before investing. i did my homework and I am making money with Forex.

When I signed up with FXDD they only required my driver’s license, but that’s because I was a US citizen. If you are not then I believe they DO require 2 pieces of ID. This is the price we all pay for identity theft, everything is more difficult.
For USA based brokers it is a must, The brokers are regulated by financial regulators such as CFTC that specify brokerage companies must obtain these documents from their clients.

Depends on the broker. If they need those papers you should give them those. I think it is connected to the regulation they have on each country. I would recommend that you take a look at global forex. as they are receiving micro accounts.
giving your your ID is a must for most forex brokers. if you don’t want to give your passport copy you can submit your national id and copy of your driving lisence. some brokers also require utility bill for address confirmation. if you do not have the utility bill you can submit your bank statement. ask your bank to issue bank statement and make sure that the address and account number is the same as the address and account number on forex brokers registration application form to avoid unnecessary delays. if you have small amout of fund, you should find a broker that allows you to open mini account. there are a lot of forex broker to choose from. FOREX.COM, FXDD.COM, and FXCM Micro are also provide mini account and excellent services. apart from that they are also legal brokers and regulated under NFA regulation.
