# Onboarding

## Overview 

During onboarding, you will provide your personal or company details through the secure TrustForm Client Area so your service provider can verify your information and meet regulatory requirements. All data you submit is shared only with your service provider and is processed securely to complete your application.

## **Getting Ready**

**Before you begin, make sure you have:**

* A government-issued ID (such as a passport or driving licence)
* Proof of address (for example, a utility bill or bank statement)
* A certificate of incorporation (for corporate clients)

Your service provider will send you a link to start the onboarding process. Follow the link to open the **TrustForm Client Area**, enter your email address and follow the instructions in the email to access your application.

Please note: the link can only be used once and expires after 24 hours. \
If it expires, you’ll need to request a new one.
{% endhint %}

After submitting your application, you’ll be redirected to the **Applications** page. Here, you can view all submitted applications and their current statuses. You can also create a new one by selecting **Create new application**.

## **KYC Reviews**

Your service provider will carry out the necessary checks and reviews to ensure your information meets legal and regulatory requirements.

* If anything’s missing, you’ll get a notification asking for more information.
* Once everything is successfully completed, you will be notified you so you can proceed with ease.
