Based on my own experience as a trader, initial withdrawals with regulated brokers like NOMURA typically require strict documentation for identity and compliance reasons. Given that NOMURA operates under the oversight of Japan’s FSA and follows established financial protocols, you should expect to provide certain standard documents. While the WikiFX context did not outline an explicit list, my common practice with Japanese brokers involves submitting a government-issued photo ID (such as a passport or driver's license), proof of address dated within three months (like a utility bill or official bank statement), and sometimes bank account details that match your registered name. The reason behind these requirements is to ensure anti-money laundering compliance and prevent identity fraud. From an experienced trader’s perspective, I have found that thorough document checks, although sometimes time-consuming, can actually contribute positively to the overall security and legitimacy of the withdrawal process. I would advise having clear, up-to-date copies of these documents ready before requesting your first withdrawal, as any inconsistencies may lead to delays. Given NOMURA's regulatory obligations and history, you should be prepared for a careful verification stage, which is, in my view, a reassuring sign of a responsible broker rather than an unnecessary hurdle.
