How to Provide Your Identification

If you want to send more than 1.000 EUR within a 12-month period, we will need to verify your identity. 

Here is how it works:

Step 1: Choose “I want to send money regularly” on the review page of your money transfer. You will receive a letter from us

Step 2: Follow the directions in the letter and fill out the confirmation form.

Step 3: Copy or scan both sides of your photo ID. Make sure your picture, signature, birthdate, and expiry date are visible. Passport, Identity card of EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Czech driving license, Czech residence permit.

Step 4: Sign and date the confirmation form. Your signature must match the one on your photo ID.

Step 5: Send all documents to Western Union.

Step 6: Log in to your profile to check your identification status. Verification may take several days. When it is complete, we will email you. In meantime, you can send money by visiting a nearby agent location.

*Please send us a COPY of your identification, not the original. Keep the original in a safe place.
