What forms/documents are acceptable to prove accreditation?

*Just so you know, all documentation must have the investor's full name and date of the document.

• Letter from a lawyer, accountant, dealer-broker, or investment advisor indicating that they have seen the investor’s financials and can confirm that they meet the accreditation requirements.
• Tax forms like W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, etc.
• Certificates of deposit, tax assessment, or appraisals.
• Proof of license for Series 7, 65, or 82.
• If the investor is foreign and uploads foreign documents, you can convert the currency into USD to determine if they meet the threshold
