Proof of Address for Stake: Requirements, Examples and Common Mistakes

Proof of address is one of the most common KYC topics. Users often get confused because documents show addresses in different formats and not every file type is accepted.

What proof of address should show

A proof of address document usually needs full name, residential address, issue date, official issuer, readable text and complete document.

Examples users discuss

Possible examples include bank statement, utility bill, government letter, tax letter, residence certificate, insurance document or official service bill.

Why proof of address fails

Common reasons include old document, missing address, missing name, screenshots, cropped files, unsupported file, another person's document, address mismatch or edited file.

Address formatting issues

Small differences can create confusion, such as apartment number, postal code, local spelling, street abbreviation or address line order.

If you live with family

Look for documents in your own name such as bank statement, government letter, tax document, insurance document or official residence document.
