Banks require proof of address for KYC. Share your name and address — not your account history.

Coinbase, Kraken, and others require proof of address. Redact before uploading.
Setting up new services

FAQ
What should I redact on a utility bill?
Redact your account number, meter/service ID, billing history, payment details, and any autopay bank or card info. Keep your full name, service address, provider name, and bill issue date visible — those are what proof-of-address verifiers actually need.
Does RedactID upload my bill?
No. RedactID processes everything in your browser. Your utility bill never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server.
Can I redact a PDF bill from my utility provider?
Yes. PDF bills from providers like ConEdison, PG&E, British Gas, or your internet ISP redact cleanly in RedactID. You can also upload an image if you took a photo.
Will banks and landlords accept a redacted utility bill?
Almost always. KYC and proof-of-address checks verify name, address, provider, and date. They do not require your account number or usage history, so redacting those fields rarely causes issues.
Is this free?
Yes. You get free daily redactions. For higher volume, one-time credit packs are available at /pricing.
How recent does my utility bill need to be?
Most verifiers require a bill issued within the last 60–90 days. Pull a recent one from your provider's portal before redacting.
