If you want to use only social features to connect with other investors, you can remain with an unverified account.
However, to invest your money in various assets that are available at Shares, you will need to complete the entire verification process, as it’s not possible to trade using an unverified account.
Please see the Verifying your account: required steps article to learn more about the documents required to verify your account, and the Countries currently supported article to see what assets we offer for trading in the app based on your residency country.
