eToro Registration

Did you know that the initial sign-up process for an eToro account only takes less than a minute to complete? If you haven't decided yet to open an account and wondering how it should be done properly, then be sure to read this comprehensive registration guide.

Process

Registration is done online via their website or one of their mobile apps and you’ll only need to provide the following details:

1. Username
2. Email address
3. Password

Take note: There are a few countries which eToro doesn’t support and this includes Canada, Indonesia and Japan.

Facebook or Google

If you have a Facebook or Google account, you may also sign-up and link them. Do take note that your details should be factual since eToro will need to verify your identity.

And speaking of verification, this is something that you need to complete in order to fully use eToro’s platform.

Such process is mandatory in accordance with regulatory requirements to keep their platform secure and prevent fraud.

Verification

In order to verify your account with eToro, you will need to submit the following:

1. Proof of identity (POI): This document must have your full name, birth date, photo, date of issue and expiry date of the document (if applicable).
   
   Here’s a tip: If you have a passport, this would be the best POI to submit as this is the fastest document that they can process.
   
   You may also use any ID that has been issued by government such as a driver’s license. If the document is double-sided with relevant information on the back, be sure to include this detail.
   
   
2. Proof of address (POA): This document must have your complete name, address and date of issue which should be within 6 months. It also needs to have either issuer’s name or logo.
   
   You may use any of the following documents as proof of address:
   • Credit card statement
   • Bank statement
   • Phone bill
   • Internet bill
   • Utility bill such as electricity, water or gas
   • Council tax bill
   • Tax letter or bill
   • House rental official agreement that was issued by a rental agent
   • Letter from your employer
   • Letter from your local municipality

Here’s a tip: If your POA was taken from a digital document, you can take a screenshot of it and submit this to eToro.

The verification may take a few days to process and once it’s complete or anything else, you will get a notification from their customer service team.

When your account is verified, you’ll be able to see a green tick beside your username when you access your profile.
