Hi [augural-accosts-2](https://community.deriv.com/u/augural-accosts-2),

Please, note that authentication is usually not required, but in some cases, you’ll need to complete identity and address verification. Kindly reach out to us via LiveChat on [Contact Us | Online Trading | Deriv.com](https://deriv.com/contact_us/) and we will assist you to check if your account needs to be authenticated.

In addition, this document will explain when we request authentication: [Do I need to authenticate or age-verify my account? (CR) | Knowledge Base](https://deriv.kb.help/do-i-need-to-authenticate-or-age-verify-my-account-cr/)

We hope this message finds you well. Thank you!
