I request a photo ID along with a utility bill so your are not off base.

I emailed them and they replied:
"Due to CFTC (Commodities Futures Trading Commission) requirements, a copy of 2 forms of identification must be submitted along with all account forms."
I asked for clarification that that meant 2 PHOTO id's and was told "yes, like a passport or something".
Oh well. I'm not going to go get a passport for the honor of paying them commissions.
Is this 2 "photo" ID rule really a CFTC reg?
Sounds like a misinterpretation to me.

Tail waggin the Dog, LOL
Haha CFTC regs huh?
I'm sure my PM box will be bursting in flames from all the lurking brokers on this board, All the "senior members" who haven't been on this board even a month. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
At least Decloak and state your affiliation
I think its the brokers who should proactively provide:
picture ID( 2 forms of course)prison stripes pose preferred,
utililty bill(s),
High School and College(if any) transcripts
Series 3 test scores (LOL)
NFA registration history,
criminal record history,
2yrs audited tax returns,
3 references from satisfied customers,
3 from dissatisfied customers
Commissions and fees charged( IN WRITING)
to each prospective customer and the customer should do due dilligence on that information as well.
An then think twice about the SOB and their house of cards "firm"
I know, not ALL brokers are bad......just haven't met one who can tell the truth without choking

but unless you have a passport who has two picture IDs?
I've traveled out of the country but always to USA friendly places like Cancun, St.Kitts etc. and never needed to get a passport so far.
I never imagined I'd be getting a passport so I could open a trading account
Thanks for the info.
