In my experience as a forex trader dealing with regulated Japanese securities firms like Nobata, making a first withdrawal is never as simple as just submitting a request. With Nobata, which is regulated by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), I always expect to go through a fairly rigorous verification process in line with both Japanese regulation and general industry standards. Typically, this means I must provide clear proof of identity—most commonly, a government-issued photo ID such as a passport or driver’s license. Additionally, proof of address is nearly always required. For me, this usually involves uploading a recent (within the last three months) utility bill, bank statement, or an official residence certificate bearing my name and current address. Since Nobata is not offering a demo account and has a somewhat limited scope of tradable instruments, I noticed the onboarding and compliance checks feel more rigid and traditional compared to larger international forex brokers. It’s worth noting that, due to strict Japanese anti-money laundering laws, supporting documentation—including the bank account details matching the trading account holder’s name—is often demanded before withdrawals are processed. I always caution fellow traders: submitting incomplete or inconsistent documentation will almost certainly delay your first withdrawal. For me, ensuring everything is clear and matches my registered information has been the key to avoiding unnecessary complications. In summary, I would not expect to get far with a first withdrawal without verified ID, proof of address, and matching banking information, as strict compliance is the norm with honest, FSA-regulated firms like Nobata.
