If your Plum account isn't already verified, you'll need to provide us with some documentation when you decide to create a Stocks account. This is necessary to comply with legal requirements and as part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which we're obligated to carry out.
In case you need to provide those documents, the verification should be completed within 2 business days. If you find yourself still waiting, it's likely because one of your documents didn't meet one or more of the requirements. You'll usually receive an email notification if your document fails to meet the requirements.
