To open your Beacon Money account, we need to verify your identity. This is required by Canadian regulations and helps keep your account secure.
If you have a Canadian ID
You can verify your identity using one of the following:
Canadian Driver’s License
Provincial Photo ID Card (Health Cards are not accepted)
Canadian Passport
Permanent Resident (PR) Card
If you are using a foreign passport
You can verify your identity using your valid foreign passport.
If you hold Canadian citizenship, a PR card, or a valid study or work permit, you can complete verification using just your passport.
If you do not have one of the statuses above, you will also need to upload one of the following documents:
Study Permit
Work Permit
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)
Important:
Tourist visas and visitor visas are not accepted for identity verification.
If you have questions or need help during verification, our support team is always happy to assist.
Tax Residency Requirement
If you are not a Canadian tax resident, you must provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) from your country of tax residence.
If you’re unsure which documents apply to your situation, email us at [email protected] and we’ll guide you.
