Mesan Ali
If you're working through Remote and want to get paid via Elevate Pay, you’ll need to complete a simple verification process. This ensures your account is secure and compliant with financial regulations.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the exact documents you need to upload based on your country of residence. Whether you’re in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Egypt, this guide will help you avoid delays and get verified smoothly.
While Remote manages contracts and client payouts, Elevate Pay handles your document verification separately. This step is essential before you can start receiving payments.
What Documents Do You Need?
To activate your Elevate Pay account, you’ll need to provide three types of documents:
Proof of Income
Proof of Address
Proof of Identity
Depending on your country, the acceptable documents may vary slightly.
Document Overview for Remote Users

To ensure smooth verification:
Your name and address must be clearly visible.
Bank statements must be no older than 90 days.
Upload the original PDF or scanned copy, avoid mobile screenshots.
All ID documents must be valid and not expired.
What is a “Contract with the Employer”?
When you’re hired through Remote, you sign a digital contract outlining your working relationship with the client. This contract includes details like payment terms, scope of work, and legal obligations.
You can download this contract directly from your Remote dashboard under the “Contracts.”
Your contract should ideally show:
Your name
Client’s name or company
Signature/approval
Payment rate and terms
This contract acts as your proof of income for Elevate Pay.
