Beacon only asks for information required by regulatory requirements. To verify your identity, you will need to provide a government-issued ID. We accept the following documents:

• Canadian Passport

• Permanent Resident Card

• Citizenship Card (issued prior to 2012)

• Secure Certificate of Indian Status

• Driver’s License issued by each province

• Provincial Services Cards issued by each province

• Foreign Passport

For those of you using a foreign passport to sign up for a Beacon Money account, in addition to your ID, please upload your immigration document, such as your visa (study, work, Permanent Resident) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

We’re here to make this process as simple as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, our friendly customer support team is always ready to help.
