I would think they would have already gathered this information when they verified your identity. They had to verify your identity prior to allowing you to withdraw any of your BTC (unless their policy on this has somewhat recently changed).

i remember at first you had the opportunity to withdraw a certain amount without verification, pretty much like kraken work right now, then they changed that, because of bank related problems and regulation, usual stuff

i dismissed bitstamp, long time ago when they added the whole id for every sum, at first they were nice then they mutated in a "pain the ass exchange"

by how the thing evolved then i made the right choice, since they were hacked afterward

There are a variety of alternatives available that said Bitstamp's KYC is pretty intense because of US regulations so for the occasional trader moving elsewhere makes sense.

Bitstamp have always been particularly meticulous about being nosy. I've heard they've asked for tax documents in the past for no apparent reason. I'd be shopping elsewhere.

Got this message when I logged in today.

Bitstamp users are now required to declare if they are a US citizen, resident or tax person.
