# Live Joint Account

Create a Tradeview Markets Live Joint Account and complete both account holders’ required details.

Choose **Joint** when the account will be held with another person, such as a spouse or business partner. One person begins as the **primary account holder** and adds the other as the **secondary account holder**. Both holders must complete the information requested for them.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Joint** is not available for every country or Tradeview entity. It appears in the Cabinet only when it is available to the current application. If you cannot see it, do not register as an Individual account expecting to convert it later.
{% endhint %}

## Before either holder starts

* Agree who will be the primary account holder and who will be the secondary account holder.
* Have a separate, working email address for each holder. The secondary holder receives an invitation at the address entered by the primary holder.
* Have each holder’s personal details, government-issued photo ID, and proof-of-residence document ready if requested.
* Make sure both holders can complete their own requested information and acknowledgements.

## Part 1: Primary holder starts the account

1. Open [Create an Account](/getting-started/create-an-account.md).
2. Select **Live account**, enter the primary holder’s email and password, and select **Continue**.
3. Verify the email with the latest **Verification code** sent by Tradeview.
4. Complete the initial registration **Personal details** screen for the primary holder, including the country and entity fields shown.
5. If an entity disclaimer appears, read it and complete its required acknowledgement.
6. On **Account category**, select **Joint (With someone else)**.
7. Read the disclaimer, select its acknowledgement checkbox, and select **Get started**.
8. Complete the account and platform settings screen, then continue through any primary-holder ID, selfie, or proof-of-residence request shown by the Cabinet.
9. Read and complete the acknowledgement screen.

## Part 2: Add the secondary holder

1. On **Secondary holder addition**, check that the primary holder details shown are correct.
2. Under **Secondary account holder**, enter the second holder’s first name, last name, and email address.
3. Select **Send invitations** or the enabled action shown on the screen.
4. Confirm the Cabinet shows that the invitation was sent.
5. Tell the secondary holder to open the invitation sent to their own email address.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you edit the secondary holder’s email after an invitation was sent, the Cabinet disables the previous link and sends a new link to the updated address. Use the newest invitation only.
{% endhint %}

## Part 3: Secondary holder completes their details

1. The secondary holder opens the invitation link from Tradeview in their browser.
2. On **Live Joint Account**, enter their own personal details; do not reuse the primary holder’s information.
3. Complete the requested **ID verification** by uploading the requested identification document or following the displayed verification flow.
4. Complete **Proof of residence** if it appears, using the secondary holder’s current document.
5. Read the acknowledgement, select the required agreement checkbox or checkboxes, add the required signature, and select **Submit**.
6. Wait until the secondary holder’s submission shows it has been completed or submitted.

## Part 4: Primary holder finishes and submits

1. The primary holder returns to the Cabinet and opens the Joint-account application.
2. On **Secondary holder addition**, confirm the secondary holder is shown as complete.
3. Select **Continue** to open the final submission step.
4. Review the Joint-account acknowledgements and the account setup information.
5. Select all required checkboxes, confirm the signature if requested, and select **Submit**.
6. Confirm the page changes to **Application submitted: Review in progress**.
