Depending on your circumstances and the region you are a resident of, we may request that the documentation you submit to us is certified. A certified copy is a copy of an original document that has been endorsed as a true copy of the original by an approved individual. Examples of approved individuals who can certify documents include: 

• Lawyer 
• Notary public 
• Commissioner of oaths
• Accountant 
• Bank manager 
• Doctor 
• Ambassadorial staff 
• Law enforcement official

The endorsement or stamp needs to appear on the page that shows the information required. We are not able to accept a certified document with the certification on a separate page. 

The certification on all certified copies should include:

• The statement: “Certified to be a true copy of the original”
• The name and signature of the person who has certified the document
• The certifier’s job title
• The certifier’s telephone number
• The certifier’s company stamp, if applicable or their address
• The date of the certification

We are able to set up your account with scanned copies of your certified documents. However, you need to send us hardcopies of the certified documents within two weeks of opening your account in order to withdraw funds.

Translated documents must be annotated with the wording “True translation” and must be signed and dated by the translator.

• Email to support@cmcmarkets.com.sg with your request from the registered email address on your account.
• Submit a request on your mobile application

Our aim is to help you start trading as quickly as possible. We typically process applications in one to three working days.

However, there may be cases where additional documentation is needed before we can process your live account application.

If you reside outside Singapore, the account opening depends on how quickly you can provide us with the required supporting documents.  Once you have submitted your documents, we will contact you within the business day.

After you have completed an application, we will need you to drop by our office with the following documents so that we can complete the verification process to open your account:

• A signed copy of the Client Acknowledgement Form.
• Proof of identity - a valid photo ID (NRIC), passport or driving licence; 

If your photo ID does not show your current residential address, we will also require you to bring any one of the following documents, dated within the last three months, clearly showing your current residential address during your visit:

• Proof of address - any one of the following documents, dated in the last three months, clearly showing your current residential address:
• - Bank / Credit Card Statement
• - Town Council Service and Conservancy bill
• - Singapore Power utility bill
• - Cable TV Bill
• - Telecommunication / Internet Bill
• - Insurance / Statement / letter
• - Any Bill/Statement/letter from a government agency or statutory board participating in the one-stop change of address reporting service

As we will require a copy of your bank statement to withdraw funds from your account, it may prove simplest to provide it with your application, as your proof of address.
