If you are being asked to re-verify your account on 1Bitcoin.ca, it usually means updated information or additional verification is required to help keep your account secure and compliant.
Re-verification is a normal part of operating a regulated Bitcoin platform in Canada and does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your account.
🪪 Your Identification Has Expired
If the identification originally used to verify your account has expired, you may be asked to upload updated documents.
Common examples include expired driver’s licences, passports, or provincial photo ID cards.
To continue using your account, valid government-issued identification may be required.
🏠 Your Personal Information Changed
You may also need to re-verify if important account information has changed, such as your:
legal name
home address
phone number
banking information
In some situations, supporting documents may also be requested to confirm the update.
