To meet compliance requirements and verify your identity, Deed requests a valid proof of address (POA) document. This helps confirm your current place of residence and ensures secure investment processing.

Your POA must include:

  • Your full name

  • Your full address (including street, city, and country)

  • The date of issue (not older than 3 months*)

  • A clear view of the full document

  • The name or logo of the issuing authority (e.g., DEWA, Etisalat, Emirates NBD)

Accepted documents:

  • Bank documents: bank statement, credit card statement, or official bank letter (last 3 months)

  • Utility/telecom bills: electricity, water, gas (last 3 months)

  • Mobile operator bills (last 3 months)

  • Lease contract (last 3 months), including rent bills from real estate agencies, employer confirmation of address, or home purchase deed

Documents we do not accept:

  • Screenshots

  • Receipts for purchases

  • Medical bills

Please ensure your document is complete, legible, and in your name to avoid delays in verification.

*Note: The date requirement does not apply to tenancy contracts or title deeds if they are still valid.

Please make sure the document is complete, legible, and in your name to avoid delays in verification.
