ib wants too many documents

Wow!

It is Amazing how stupid you are! You cum on this message board spewing this crap when all you needed to do is read the document list needed and why certain documents need to be sent in!

A fool and his money will soon be parted!

You're a troll so im not even gonna bother with you.

Others have said they didn't need to send documents like this to IB so I was curious as to why I had to.

If anyone is curious, I talked to tech support and I guess my address on one form was listed as W and on the other West so it made a problem with their system. All is fixed, thanks for those who helped.

I suspect you have a choice of documents to provide to prove your residential address. If unsure, we have a new accounts team that are more than happy to assist. Just contact the help desk and I'm sure they can assist.
 
OP evidently didn't see the heading at the top of the list of a dozen documents that said "only one document per category is needed".

Correct. There is a very long list of acceptable documents that meet their criteria for proof of residence.
 
I live in Thailand and opened an account with IB. It was pretty simple.

Requirements are basically to comply with FATF rules on preventing Money Laundering.

So,

1) Copy of government issue photo ID,
2) Proof of Residence, any one from a list like utility bills and so on. I had a Thai government document that put me in the house registration system here, so I just translated that and all was good.

The account opening team is pretty responsive so if in doubt, ask.
