# Step 2 - User KYC

Once, the account is created, the user must perform a KYC (a compliance process called "Know You Customer"). The KYC status will allow the user to access all the features and to activate his Account.

The User will need to login to his account in order to start the KYC procedure.  This action will be performed using:

{% openapi src="/files/CxdhNANltvpAtSQ3ieEA" path="/v1/kyc/start" method="get" %}
[stokn\_api.json](https://4184423511-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F50DZdVHQuJqLLMFS5pFA%2Fuploads%2FtArCzZFBOjwtLNo3PlL8%2Fstokn_api.json?alt=media\&token=f6fefe86-fbfd-49de-9419-503e5c449364)
{% endopenapi %}

This will automatically return an url to start the process. Once finished, according to the result of the KYC, the Account will be activated. 

Please note that sometimes, the KYC will not be performed correctly, it is possible to activate manually an Account. 

For this case, please contact your account manager. He will be able to activate the account for you.
