Recently, a phenomenon has been observed—many people are being rejected when applying for accounts with a certain leading international brokerage. The most frustrating issue is often related to proof of overseas address.

Even more disheartening, once rejected, trying to reapply with the same set of identity documents becomes significantly more difficult. Industry feedback indicates that the success rate for reapplications after an initial failure is roughly only around 30%. The underlying reason is quite practical—these international brokerages have very strict risk control systems. Once you are rejected the first time, the system tags your identity information. Even if you subsequently provide all the required documents, your previous "failure record" may continue to affect the review outcome.

Therefore, the idea of "submit first to try, then supplement materials if it doesn't work" often ends up trapping yourself.

Here are some practical tips for friends who want to open an account:

**First**, before officially applying, make sure to prepare clear and verifiable proof of overseas address that meets the requirements. Don't be careless.

**Second**, if your documents are incomplete or uncertain, do not rush to submit the application.

**Third**, ensure that all submitted materials are consistent and do not contradict each other.

**Fourth**, if you're unsure about the compliance of certain documents, proactively ask and verify instead of trying to submit randomly.

Getting it right the first time is much less stressful than fixing issues afterward.
