  Unfortunately, Kraken requires users to complete the verification process before they can start trading cryptocurrencies. This is to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the security of the platform. Once you sign up, you will need to provide the necessary identification documents and go through the verification process. Only after your account is verified, you will be able to trade on Kraken.
