Lere’s how to complete it!
Prepare a valid identification document (ID card or passport).
- Applicant’s Information
Log in with your credentials and consent to the processing of your personal data for verification purposes, and click “Next”.
Enter all the required personal information in the form. Once completed, click “Next”.
Attention: if your residential address is different from the address shown on your identification document, in the personal information section, you must declare the actual address that must match the one indicated on the proof of address.
- Selfie
Proceed with the registration of your video in the step called “Selfie”. Click on “I’m Ready”. If you prefer, you can complete this procedure on mobile.
Look at the camera, make sure your face remains completely within the frame. Slowly move your head in a circular motion to the right, left, up, and down.

The essential thing is that the address of residence and date are clearly visible.

Select the country of issuance and choose a document to upload between ID card and passport. Take a clear and readable photo. We recommend removing the documents from the plastic case to avoid possible reflections of light that may worsen the quality of the photo.

Why the KYC?
KYC, which stands for Know Your Customer, is a process used by banks, financial intermediaries, and cryptocurrency exchanges to verify the identity of their users and prevent illicit activities such as money laundering or terrorism financing. Additionally, KYC helps to identify anomalous behaviors and prevent potential illicit activities. KYC procedures must be performed by law (as provided for by Legislative Decree 231/2007 and subsequent amendments) and are mandatory for digital finance services, whether centralized or not.
This process requires the insertion of information such as the residential address, tax code, and identity document. Rest assured that all the data entered is protected according to the Information on the processing and protection of personal data.
Protection of privacy and personal data
Now that you know what KYC is, how it works, and what it’s used for on Swaggy, you might be wondering: is it safe to share my documents online?
The answer is: yes, if you do it in an aware manner. Before sharing your data on any online platform or service, investigate its reliability.
The data you share with Swaggy is managed according to the Information on the processing and protection of personal data. Keep in mind that the purpose of the Identity Verification process, according to regulations (EU) 2016/979 and (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the relevant national legislation, is considered to be in the public interest.
The most common errors in completing the KYC
If you are asked to repeat the KYC procedure, the sections that need to be modified will be highlighted and you will need to update only those sections.
Let’s take a closer look at the most common errors you may have encountered:
- User already registered with another account: in this case, the name you provided during the procedure is already registered. On Swaggy, each person can register only once.
- The document is not acceptable: the document you have chosen has expired or is not valid.
- The photo of the document is not valid: the photograph of your documents is of poor quality. Try again following the small tips explained above.
- The selfie is not valid: your face is not clearly visible in the selfie you registered or cannot be associated with the identification photograph of the document you uploaded.
