In busy periods or for submissions requiring manual review, it may take up to 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when your account is approved.<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\"><button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span>What documents are needed for Headway verification?<\/span><div class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/div><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\">Two documents are required: (1) a government-issued photo ID \u2014 passport, national ID card, or driver's license; and (2) proof of address \u2014 a bank statement or utility bill dated within the last 3 months showing your name and full address.<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\"><button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span>Can I trade before Headway verification is complete?<\/span><div class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/div><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. You can deposit and trade before completing KYC verification. However, withdrawals are restricted until your identity is verified. It is strongly recommended to complete KYC immediately after registration to avoid delays when you want to withdraw profits.<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\"><button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span>Why was my Headway verification rejected?<\/span><div class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/div><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\">The most common reasons are: blurry or cut-off document images, name mismatch between your registration and ID, expired ID, or proof of address older than 3 months. Headway sends an email specifying the reason. Fix the issue and resubmit \u2014 most rejections are resolved on the second submission.<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\"><button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span>Is Headway Broker verification required by law?<\/span><div class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/div><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. As an FSCA-regulated broker (license #52108), Headway is legally required to verify all account holders under South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA).
