# SwapinWidget KYC
As a new SwapinWidget customer, first, you need to complete the verification (KYC, which is the Know Your Customer process), but don’t worry, you only need to go through this verification once. The next time you use SwapinWidget, you'll go straight to the transaction process.
## Documents needed for verification.
Please prepare the following documents required for KYC verification:
* ID: This should be a government-issued identification document such as a passport or residence permit. Please note that a driving license cannot be accepted as an ID document.
* Proof of address document: This is a document that verifies your residential address, confirming your identity and physical presence at a specific location. Common proof of address documents include utility bills and bank statements. You can find more information on how to provide proof of address in [this article](https://intercom-help.eu/swapin/en/articles/161759-address-verification).
