| How To Change Address On Webull |
Step 1: Log In and Locate Your Profile - Let's Get Digital!
Alright, the very first thing we need to do is access your Webull account. Grab your phone or head over to your computer and open the Webull app or visit the Webull website.
On the Mobile App: Open the Webull app on your smartphone or tablet. You'll typically find an icon that looks like a bull or a 'W' on a blue background. Once open, you'll need to enter your login credentials (your email/phone number and password). After logging in, look for the "Menu" icon, usually located in the bottom right corner (it often looks like three horizontal lines or a "More" button). Tap on it. From the menu, you'll want to find and tap on your "Profile" or "Account" section, which is usually at the very top, displaying your name or a generic user icon.
On the Desktop Website: Open your web browser and navigate to the official Webull website (webull.com). Click on the "Login" button, usually found in the top right corner. Enter your registered email or phone number and your password. Once logged in, you'll typically see your dashboard. Look for your "Account" or "Profile" name, usually located in the top right corner. Click on it to expand a dropdown menu.
Pro Tip: Always ensure you are on the official Webull website or app to protect your account security. Phishing attempts are unfortunately common, so double-check the URL!
Step 2: Navigating to Your Personal Information - The Heart of the Matter
Once you're in your profile or account section, it's time to dig a little deeper to find your personal information.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Finding "Account Details" or "Profile Settings": Within your profile area, you'll be looking for a section that deals with your personal details. This might be labeled as "Account Details," "Profile Settings," "Personal Information," or something similar. It's usually pretty intuitive. Click or tap on this section.
Locating Your Current Address: Once inside "Account Details," you should see various pieces of information, including your name, contact details, and, most importantly for us, your current registered address. Take a moment to verify that the address currently listed is indeed the one you need to change.
Step 3: Initiating the Address Change - Time for the Update!
Now that you've found your current address, it's time to tell Webull about your new digs!
The "Edit" or "Modify" Button: Next to your address, you should see an "Edit," "Modify," or perhaps a pencil icon. This is your gateway to updating your information. Click or tap on it.
Entering Your New Address Details: A form will likely appear, allowing you to input your new address. Carefully and accurately enter all the required details:
Street Address 1: Your house number and street name.
Street Address 2 (Optional): Apartment, unit, or suite number.
City: The city you now reside in.
State/Province: Your new state or province.
Zip/Postal Code: Your new postal code.
Country: Your new country of residence.
Double-check everything! Even a small typo can lead to significant delays or issues with receiving important documents.
Step 4: Providing Supporting Documentation - Proof of Residence
This is a crucial step! Due to regulatory requirements (like KYC - Know Your Customer), Webull needs to verify your new address. They can't just take your word for it.
Understanding Webull's Requirements: Webull will typically ask for a proof of address document. This document must meet specific criteria:
It must be dated within the last 3 months (this can vary slightly, so check Webull's specific requirements).
It must clearly show your name and your new address.
It must be issued by a credible third party.
Acceptable Documents (Common Examples):
Utility Bill: (Electricity, water, gas, internet, landline phone bill). This is one of the most commonly accepted and easiest to obtain.
Bank Statement: A recent bank or credit card statement.
Rental Agreement/Lease: A signed lease agreement.
Mortgage Statement: A recent mortgage statement.
Government-Issued Document: Such as a driver's license (if it has the new address), tax statement, or voter registration.
Insurance Statement: Home or auto insurance statement.
Uploading Your Document: Webull will provide an interface for you to upload your chosen document. This usually involves:
Clicking "Upload" or "Choose File."
Selecting the file from your device (ensure it's a clear, legible scan or high-quality photo).
Confirming the upload.
Important Note: Make sure the entire document is visible, with no information cut off. Avoid blurry or dark images. PDFs or clear JPG/PNG images are usually preferred.

Step 5: Review and Submission - The Final Check!
You're almost there! Before hitting that "submit" button, take one last moment to review everything.
Review All Information: Go through your new address details one more time. Is the street name spelled correctly? Is the zip code accurate?
Confirm Document Upload: Ensure that the correct proof of address document has been successfully uploaded.
Read Any Disclaimers or Terms: Webull might have specific disclaimers or terms related to the address change. Give them a quick read.
Click "Submit" or "Confirm": Once you're confident everything is correct, click the "Submit," "Confirm," or "Save Changes" button.
Step 6: Verification and Confirmation - The Waiting Game (Briefly!)
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
After submission, Webull's compliance team will review your request and the submitted documentation.
What to Expect:
You will likely receive an email confirmation that your address change request has been received.
The processing time can vary, but it typically takes anywhere from 1-3 business days. In some cases, it might be faster, or if there are issues with your document, it could take longer.
Webull may contact you via email or through the app's notification center if they require additional information or clarification.
Confirmation of Change: Once your address change is approved and processed, you will receive another notification (likely via email) confirming that your address has been successfully updated in your Webull account. You can also log back into your account and navigate to your profile settings to verify the change yourself.
