Therefore, you are kindly requested to complete your registration with accurate information, corresponding to the information on your identity and residence documents.
Proof of stay - VERIFICATION OF THE CLIENT'S STAY
Document confirming the address - VERIFICATION OF THE CLIENT 'S RESIDENCE
The purpose of verification of residence is to obtain an address where the client usually resides, which may not match the address of permanent residence.

Internet invoice;
fixed line invoice;
statement (bank or credit card);
lease agreement or lease account;
