## Frequent Questions

### What is the Proof of Address?  
Proof of address is a document-based verification process used to confirm where a person currently lives. This is an essential process in confirming digital identities and is mandated by numerous companies and governmental organizations. Typical scenarios involve setting up a bank account, utilizing financial services, seeking government assistance, or signing up for utility services.

Regulated businesses like banks, fintech platforms, and crypto exchanges must collect evidence of a customer's address.
