Doto requires all traders to complete a verification process to ensure user security and comply with international financial regulations (KYC - Know Your Customer).

Here's how to do it step-by-step.

Why is it necessary to verify your account?

Verification is a mandatory step in Doto and has several benefits:

✅ Ensures the security of your account and funds.

✅ Complies with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

✅ Enables key functions such as unrestricted deposits, withdrawals and trading.


When is verification requested?

Verification is requested when you reach certain limits on your account.

  • Deposit limit without verification: $2,000

  • Withdrawal limit without verification: $1,000

Once you reach these limits, you must complete the verification process to continue depositing or withdrawing.


Steps to verify your Doto account

  • Log in and access verification

    • Visit Doto and log in to your account.

    • Go to the "Verification" section in the user profile.

Upload a document that proves your address, such as:

  • Utility bill (electricity, water, internet).

  • Bank statement.

  • Official letter from the government.

  • If your ID includes an address, you can upload the ID and pass geo-verification.

Must show your full name, address, and recent issue date (last 3 months).

  • Selfie for facial verification

    Doto can request a real-time photo to compare with your ID document.

    Follow the on-screen instructions and make sure the image is clear:

Tips & Tricks

Clear photo 🔍

You can upload a clear photo or scan of your original ID. Screenshots, electronic documents or copies of the document can not be accepted.

Recent photo ⏰

The photo or scan of your document should have been less than 2 weeks since you took it. We recommend taking the picture right before uploading it.

Original documents 📃

Please upload a photo or scan of your original document without any physical or digital editions.

Damage free ✅

  • Make sure your document is not scratched, stained, or torn.

  • All the corners of the document should be visible in the picture or scan.

  • Avoid taking the photo when glare is visible.


Processing time

🕐 Once all your documents are uploaded, the verification can take a few minutes. However, in some cases, processing may take one working day.

🕐 You will receive an email notification when your account is verified.


Common errors and how to fix them

Illegible document: Make sure you upload a clear, non-glare photo.

Expired document: Use a valid document.

Incorrect address: Proof of address must match the information in your account.
