In terms of VerifyInvestor.com’s policy on foreign investors applying for US-based accredited investor status - When using our system, where our site refers to US documents or evidence, investors must provide US documents if available. Otherwise, they need to provide their country's equivalent. If neither is available, the investor should provide the best evidence they can obtain. The thresholds investors’ see on our site derive from the accredited investor definition and refer to US Dollars. Each investor’s foreign income or net worth should meet these thresholds after conversion into US Dollars. If the documents are in a non-English language, investors’ can provide translations of relevant excerpts. Formal or certified translations are not necessary; even just jotting down handwritten translations in the margins is acceptable. For the net worth test liability proof is necessary, a credit report is required if there is one available in the investor’s respective country.
