Kalshi is required to collect the information it does at sign-up in order to comply with U.S. government laws and CFTC rules and regulations. These regulations require Kalshi to be able to verify the identity of any person(s) opening an account and to maintain records of their information. We will request personal information from both new and existing customers as required by these regulations. We take the security of personal information and all data maintained seriously, and use it only for regulatory compliance. In many cases, we need more information because an address was invalid or another field was entered incorrectly during sign-up. To avoid delays please verify all your information before submitting.
If you still need help, please contact Kalshi support here. We have a small but mighty team ready to help you out with any issues or questions you might have. All of the Kalshi support team is US-based and human.
