The proof-of-address is a process where the user proves their declared address of residency.
Some KYC providers allow for address verification through electronic means, without requiring providing any documents.
They usually do this by checking the user’s declared residency address against public and third-party records, such as government, credit, banking, and utility records.
If electronic verification is not possible, the user must provide a document to prove their address, usually by providing a utility bill or bank statement.
The document is provided as a media file, passed in input.media. At this time, only a single media file is supported for this process.
