Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Wise for around 4 years. When I originally opened my account, I used my sister’s address in Belgium because Wise wasn’t available to residents of the country where I actually live.
I’m a freelancer and mainly use Wise to receive payments from my clients. I’ve never had any issues with the account until now.

Wise has recently asked me to provide proof that I’m a resident of Belgium before the 25th of this month; otherwise, they may close/restrict my account. The problem is that I don’t live in Belgium, so I obviously can’t provide genuine Belgian residency documents.

My main concern is that if Wise closes the account, I currently don’t have another practical way to receive payments from my clients.

Is there anyway to bypass the ID verification? Has anyone sorted this out before, even with different companies?

Any suggestion or advice is highly appreciated
