When you send Australian dollars (AUD) with Wise, we’ll need to verify your identity before you get started. It’s how we keep your money safe and comply with regulations. It usually takes up to 2 working days for us to verify you.
Verifying your personal account
When you send AUD with your personal Wise account, we’ll ask you to send us a scan in colour of a document that proves your identity. This could be:
Passport (including signature and machine-readable zone)
Driver’s license (front and back)
National ID card (front and back)
It’s important that the document has the same details listed in your Wise account, like name, birthday, and address.
Once you’ve uploaded your proof of identity, we’ll send you a confirmation email within 2 working days. We might email you to ask for more documents, too.
Once we’ve verified your identity, you can get started sending AUD.
