  To ensure compliance with regulations and prevent fraud, Kraken imposes certain limitations and restrictions on its KYC process. Users are required to provide personal information, such as their full name, date of birth, address, and proof of identity. Additionally, depending on the user's jurisdiction and the level of verification they wish to achieve, Kraken may request additional documentation, such as a passport or utility bill. These measures are in place to protect both the exchange and its users from illicit activities and ensure a safe trading environment.

  Completing the KYC process on Kraken is a straightforward procedure, but there are some limitations and restrictions to be aware of. Firstly, users must be at least 18 years old to create an account and undergo the verification process. Secondly, certain countries may have restrictions or limitations on accessing Kraken's services due to regulatory requirements. It's important to check if your country is supported before attempting to complete the KYC process. Lastly, Kraken may have specific requirements for different verification levels, such as higher deposit and withdrawal limits for users who have completed enhanced verification.
