Why does Revolut need my National Identifier?

As a regulated entity, we are obliged to comply with all relevant regulatory reporting relating to the trading of listed securities. Each user who places a trade with a financial institution such as Revolut Trading must provide their identifier for reporting purposes. The identifier required is based on the country of your Nationality (which may not be the same as the country you currently reside in).

What National Identifier do I need to provide?

The National ID that you need to provide corresponds to your Nationality. Where several forms of National ID are possible, they are assigned a priority ranking.

What National ID should I provide as a national of multiple countries? 

The regulation defines which country’s National ID takes priority, and the following logic applies; 

  • As a person who has multiple EEA nationalities, you must provide the National ID of the country which comes first alphabetically (according to the countries two-letter code). 
  • As a person who has an EEA nationality, as well as a non-EEA nationality, you must provide the National ID of the EEA country.
  • As a person who has multiple non-EEA nationalities, you must provide the National ID of the first country in the list when sorted alphabetically (according to the countries two-letter code). 

We will use the nationalities that you declared during Revolut Trading onboarding to determine which National ID you should provide. If you believe that we are requesting the incorrect National ID, or your Nationalities have changed, contact us via customer support and our agents will be able to assist you.
