How to open an Instarem personal account
Creating an Instarem personal account is fast, secure, and fully online. Once verified, you can send money to 60+ countries with upfront rates and real‑time tracking.
This guide walks you through the requirements, step-by-step setup, and what to expect after sign‑up.
Who is this account for?
Choose a personal account if you want to send money overseas for:
- Family or household support
- Education or tuition fees
- Living or medical expenses
- Personal cross‑border payments
If you’re transferring funds for business purposes, you’ll need an Instarem Business account instead.
What you need before signing up for an Instarem personal account
Keep the following handy to speed up the registration process:
- A valid email address
- An active mobile number
- A government-issued photo ID that matches your details exactly
- Passport
- National ID card
- Driver’s licence
- Personal details that match your ID precisely
Note: Document requirements vary depending on your country of residence. In some cases, additional documents may be requested to meet local regulations.
Common verification delays (and how to avoid them)
| Issue | What to do |
|---|---|
| Blurry or low‑quality ID image | Re-upload clear images taken in good lighting |

| Name mismatch | Ensure your full legal name matches your ID exactly |
| Address mismatch | Use a recent official document (bank statement, utility bill, tax letter) if asked |
