Passports

Each WebMoney Transfer system member must have a WM Passport.
A WebMoney Transfer member may obtain a WM passport of any of the following types:

Alias passport is automatically issued, free of charge, to every WebMoney system member upon registration and serves as the first identification level within the system.

An alias passport provides the following capabilities:

add funds to your purses using prepaid WM cards;
top up mobile accounts with certain service providers
pay utility bills and make purchases from merchants accepting WM¹;
send and receive encrypted messages and make secure video calls;
exchange² title units of one type for another.

To access additional features and remove certain restrictions, you can obtain a formal passport free of charge — the next identification level within the WebMoney Transfer system.

¹ Certain services are available only to holders of a formal passport.

² Specific types of title units are subject to restrictions.

A formal passport is issued free of charge to WebMoney system members aged 14 or older after uploading a scanned copy or photo of an identity document and completing identification via VideoID.

Obtaining a formal passport not only increases the limits of your purses, but also grants access to a range of additional system features that were previously unavailable:

top up purses from a bank card or account, via money transfer, or through electronic payment systems;
withdraw funds to a bank card or account, via money transfer, or through electronic payment systems;
accept payments on your website for goods or services (in a limited mode);
post reviews about any websites;
file claims and complaints against other system members through the system’s arbitration service;
comment on news in the official blog.

You can link one additional WMID to a formal passport.

List of documents required to obtain a formal passport¶

international passport

driver’s license
residence permit

To use all system features with virtually no restrictions, you may obtain a personal passport — the highest identification level within the WebMoney Transfer system.

A personal passport is intended for businesses and advanced users who wish not only to spend and transfer funds, but also to earn online by making full use of all the capabilities of the WebMoney Transfer system. A personal passport ensures a high level of trust from other system members, as your identity details are verified in person by presenting original documents or notarized copies.

Get a personal passport

Eligibility: issued on a paid basis after verification of identity details by a Registrar — a participant in the Certification Center’s partner program.

A personal passport enables you to:¶

top up purses and withdraw funds from the system with limits exceeding those available to formal passport holders
participate in the credit exchange
automate acceptance of payments from customers using the WebMoney.Merchant service interfaces
use the Capitaller service (create budget automation tools)
register online resources in any section of the Megastock catalog
publish news on various system websites (webmoney.com, megastock.com, etc.)
create online marketplaces using the DigiSeller service
file unlimited claims against other system members in the WebMoney.Arbitration
use the WebMoney.Escrow service to ensure secure transactions between WebMoney Transfer participants
contribute to the WebMoney.Wiki service by writing and editing articles

For most WebMoney system members, obtaining a personal passport is the final step, as it provides maximum trust from other participants and grants access to the majority of essential features when working with purses.

You can link up to four additional WMIDs to a personal passport.

When linking a third, fourth, or fifth additional WM identifier, at least one of the current WMIDs must have a BL of no less than 20.

A merchant passport allows you to automatically accept funds via the merchant interface. The merchant passport is issued free of charge to WebMoney Transfer members who already have a personal passport. To receive a Merchant Passport you simply need to register the website where you will be accepting WebMoney in the Megastock catalogue.

A merchant passport is a form of personal passport and has all of the features of such passports without any restrictions.

You can connect nine additional WMID to the merchant passport.

The possibility of accepting payments by means of the Web Merchant Interface is available for users with Initial passport and higher passport, but only in limited mode until a Merchant passport is received.
