What documents does verification take?

The standard pack across the industry: a government-issued document plus a liveness selfie; business accounts add company papers. This page cites Changelly's published policy rather than its internal review times, which are not published.

Changelly KYC requirements

Does Changelly require identity verification, what unverified use allows and what the published limits are — read from official pages, checked 2026-07-29.

Whether Changelly asks for your identity — and what happens before you hand it over — is published policy, not folklore. This page reads that policy from the platform's own pages: the platform runs tiers rather than a single gate: basic verification (passport) covers up to 10,000 EUR per 48 hours, and larger volumes require advanced verification. Everything quoted here was checked against the official source on 2026-07-29; the citation sits at the bottom of the page.

The rows below are the cited positions this page rests on — each read from the official Changelly page named in the source column on 2026-07-29. Policies move without notice; the date is the last check. Where a value is not published at all, this page says so instead of estimating it, because a missing number is itself useful information about transparency.

What this means before you sign up

The published policy
Changelly runs tiers rather than a single gate: basic verification (passport) covers up to 10,000 EUR per 48 hours, and larger volumes require advanced verification. As published: Basic KYC (passport) up to 10,000 EUR per 48 hours; Advanced KYC (face recognition call + extra IDs) above that.
What verification changes
A wallet-to-wallet swap needs no account, which is the whole draw — but risk systems and liquidity partners can still freeze a flagged transaction until documents arrive. Treat "no KYC" as "no KYC by default", never as an absolute.
Keep your own records either way
Export transaction histories while you have access and keep deposit receipts — whatever the verification regime, the record is what makes tax time and support disputes answerable.
Where the question never comes up
Changelly's published terms exclude some jurisdictions outright — where the service will not serve you at all, the verification question is moot. The exclusion list is cited from the terms at the bottom of this page.
