# Becoming Funded

> Complete identity verification, sign the customer agreement, follow funding review, and open the issued funded account.

The final evaluation pass starts a four-part funding path:

1. Challenge Passed
2. Identity Verification
3. Customer Agreement
4. Funded Account

The passed account's dashboard shows which step is complete, current, upcoming,
or blocked.

## 1. Verify your identity

Choose **Verify Identity** or **Continue Verification** from the passed-account
dashboard. The secure identity check is provided by Sumsub. Identity documents
are sent directly to Sumsub and are not stored by Funding Perpetuals.

Use your complete legal identity and follow the provider prompts. If the check
needs attention or is not approved, read the explanation on the funding path.
Contact support when the page directs you to do so.

## 2. Review and sign the agreement

After identity approval, the customer agreement becomes available. Open it
from the funding path and:

1. review the complete document and version;
2. confirm the legal name used for the signature;
3. provide the required consent;
4. type or draw the electronic signature;
5. submit the signed agreement.

Signing records the signature and its audit details with the exact document
fingerprint. Download the signed agreement when the action is available.

## 3. Follow any funding review

Some passed accounts can enter **Funding Review In Progress** after identity
and agreement completion. The dashboard is the source of truth for whether
the account is waiting for review, needs attention, was not approved, or is
ready.

Do not repeat identity or signing steps after they are shown as complete.

## 4. Open the funded account

When funding is approved, choose **Go to Funded Account** or select the new
funded account in the account switcher. Confirm that its stage is **Funded**
and its status is **Active** before trading.

The funded account is separate from the passed evaluation. It has its own
balance, rules, positions, payout cycle, and history.
