This is a step-by-step guide on how to complete the identity verification process on the Realio Investment Platform. 

What is Identity Verification?
Identity verification, or Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, is a critical compliance practice for financial institutions to ensure operations adhere to security and legal standards. Within the broader context of financial regulation, KYC plays a key role in preventing money laundering and promoting transparency across international borders.

By incorporating KYC, blockchain initiatives can achieve broader acceptance and integration into mainstream financial systems, enhancing the potential for innovation and global reach.

When is Identity Verification Required?
Identity requirements become necessary when dealing with financial entities subject to regulatory and legal oversight, such as security tokens, mirroring the compliance expectations of traditional banking institutions. This is particularly relevant in the expanding realm of cryptocurrency services, where efforts are being made to align with established security and legal frameworks.

Is it safe to give out my personal information for Identity Verification?
Entrusting personal information to a KYC process can be secure when utilizing services from certified and recognized verification providers. It's very important to be careful and only use services from trusted sources, such as official websites and links publicized by Realio. This helps to avoid scams and keeps personal information private and secure.

Is Identity Verification needed for all Realio tokens?
Identity Verification on the Realio Platform is required for anyone who wants to interact with regulated functions and tokens.

What you will need to complete KYC:

1. Personal Information: such as your full name, date of birth, and etc.
2. Contact Information: such as your address, email, phone number.  
3. Official Identification: A valid government-issued ID such as a passport, driver's license, or identity card is required to verify your identity.
