The online registration forms use certificate-based SSL encryption, the protocol banks also use.

You can also open a corporate account. For an individual account:

1. Complete the registration page (first name, last name, country of residence, phone number, email address and password), confirm that you are over 18, and select Continue. A PIN is sent to your email address.
2. Enter the PIN on the next page. You can ask for a new PIN after one minute, and change your email address at this step.
3. On your dashboard, select Start Verification. Confirm your country of residence and upload an identity document (ID card, passport or driving licence) with every detail legible; then a proof of address issued within the last 6 months and different from the first document (a bank document, a utility bill, a government-issued document such as a tax notice, or a mobile phone bill) that shows the address you registered; then take a selfie.
4. Complete your personal information.
5. Take the Appropriateness Test, a short test of whether you have the knowledge and experience to trade high-risk financial products. If you do not pass, you cannot go further, but you can take it again.

Once these steps are complete, you can deposit and trade. Until then you can open demo and live accounts on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, but you cannot deposit into a live account, and so cannot trade. Any missing step is under Profile in the client portal: SumSub Verification for your identity and address, and Personal Information, which appears once the verification is passed.

The regulatory authority requires a fully verified account with complete personal information. You cannot deposit or trade until you have:

• uploaded a valid ID card, passport or driving licence
• proved your address with an acceptable document
• taken and uploaded a selfie
• completed the Personal Information section
• passed the Appropriateness Test (you can take it again if you fail)
• opened a trading account

• A copy of a valid international passport, with the photo, personal data, signature, dates of issue and expiry, place of issue and serial number clearly legible.
• A proof of address no older than 6 months, such as a utility bill (electricity, heating, water) or a credit card statement that clearly shows your name and address.
• A selfie.

Other identity documents may be accepted or required, depending on your country of birth or home country. Customer Support will contact you if needed.

In the client portal, under Accounts.

This is about registering with JFD Overseas, not opening a trading account. Possible reasons:

• Your country is restricted: JFD Overseas is not allowed to offer its services in your jurisdiction at this time.
• The PIN: after you register on the registration page, you must enter the 4-digit PIN sent to your email address. Check your spam folder for it too.

Check your spam or junk folder, and if the email is there, mark it as not spam so that it does not happen again. You can also write to support@jfdoverseas.com for help.

• The details on your documents must match those you registered with, including your first name, last name and address.
• Your identity document must not have expired.
• Your proof of address must have been issued within the last 6 months and show the address you registered; an identity document cannot be used as proof of address.
• The document must be readable, and the image must show all of it, with every corner visible.
• Check your registration for a spelling mistake.
• You may have started a corporate account, in the name of a company, instead of an individual account.
• Some documents are not accepted as proof of address: shop receipts, online money transfer or purchase receipts, envelopes mailed to your address and similar.

If you registered with wrong information, write to support@jfdoverseas.com and your details will be corrected.

• Your profile is not fully verified. Until you complete the verification, the personal information and the Appropriateness Test, you will see a message that you have no accounts to deposit to.
• You have no live account yet. Open a trading account on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5; you can open both without depositing, and both support every account type.
• Your account is a demo account, which uses virtual funds and cannot receive deposits.

Two more steps follow the verification, both required by the regulatory authority before you can deposit:

1. Complete your profile information; only the fields marked in red are needed.
2. Take and pass the Appropriateness Test.

The deposit page is in the client portal under Funds › Deposit.
