Source of funds and wealth

We occasionally request additional information and/or documents to better understand the origin of funds and wealth being used for transactions in your Robinhood account. This is part of our standard practice to ensure we are compliant with local statutes and regulations. By doing this, we help protect our customers’ interests and maintain the integrity of our operations. The table below details the information and documents that may be required to satisfy this request depending on the source of funds/wealth. Thanks for helping us stay compliant!

Upload your documents

  • Documents must be clear, complete, and fully visible. Any images that are blurry, cropped, or obstructed will not be accepted.
  • PDF files or scans and photographs of physical documents are strongly preferred — screenshots are not recommended and are more likely to be rejected.
  • Documents must be submitted exclusively through our secure upload portal. Use the secure link provided in the email you received, as submissions through any other method will not be accepted.

Document requirements

Valid documents must meet the following criteria:

  • Accepted file formats: PDF (.pdf), Image files (.png, .jpg, .jpeg), and text documents (.doc, .docx).
  • Clarity & completeness: The document must be fully visible, with at least one corner or edge included for reference.
  • Authenticity: Any attempts to alter or manipulate documents may result in account closure.
  • Required information: The document should clearly display your name, the name/logo of the issuing entity, the relevant statement or transaction date, account balance, and transaction details.
  • Redactions: Sensitive information (such as account numbers or Social Security Numbers) can be redacted, but key financial details must remain visible.
  • Date validity: Documents should generally be issued within the past 24 months, though some exceptions may apply.
  • Address consistency: The address on the document must match the one associated with your Robinhood account. P.O. box addresses are not acceptable.
