Sign-Up and Verification Process

1

Create account

Sign up with Google or Apple ID to create your Polymarket US account.
2

Your username

We create a username for you when you sign up. It’s visible on your profile, and you can change it in Settings under Edit profile.
3

Enter personal details

Provide your date of birth, phone number (we text you a code to confirm it), legal name, residential address, and Social Security number for verification.
4

Verify identity (KYC)

Most users are verified automatically. If additional verification is needed, you may be asked to upload a government-issued ID and complete a selfie check.
5

Start trading

Once verified, you can deposit funds and start trading.
Most verifications are completed instantly. If manual review is required, processing can take longer. You’ll see the result in the app, and if notifications are on, we’ll send you a push notification when you’re approved.

​
Why KYC Is Required

KYC verification is required to comply with federal identity and anti-money-laundering (AML) rules. These checks confirm user identity and help maintain a secure and compliant trading environment. You must complete KYC before you can deposit funds or trade.
