    why you are asking these questions here? ask IB. i'm pretty sure that you are not only one,who lives with parents.
    what IB is asking- it's a common practice around the world. it's called-Know Your Customer
     
  3. I have an IB account and I had to produce non of those documents.

    WTF kind of account are you opening?


    Did you lie an say that you owned a home?

    probably some guy from overseas. actionzip54 is correct.for US citizen\resident all you need is SSN and about 15 min of time to fill out online application.
     
  5. No. I am a US citizen, 24 years old. Just opening a standard individual margin account.

    Sounds like something used for proof of residence for a library card.

    You could try sending a photocopy of that. :p

    well. then i don't know how you got into that. SSN and 15 min of my time. that was my experience with IB(i have multiple accounts with them and know procedure well)
    but i open those accounts while ago.
    there is pretty stiff income requirements for margin accounts. you know that,right?
    IMO-nearly impossible to pass w\o lying for 'right after the college average joe'. unless you are Mark Zuckerberg :)
     
  9. Can i PM you?
