As we want to maintain a high standard of professionalism, users with expired documents such as a driving license or insurance documents will be given a grace period to update their documents before they are non-compliant and their exchange access is restricted.
To avoid the restriction and to help you and your business, this article will describe how to update your documents before your access is restricted. The grace period provides sufficient time to upload your documents to help you continue trading smoothly on the Exchange.
Please note:
Restricted members cannot post or view jobs on the Exchange until updated documents are provided.
