  Yes, in most cases, you will need to provide some form of identification to use crypto wallets. This is because many crypto wallets are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, which require users to verify their identity. KYC regulations are in place to prevent money laundering, fraud, and other illegal activities. The specific identification requirements may vary depending on the wallet provider and the country you are in. Some wallets may only require basic information like your name and email address, while others may require more detailed identification documents such as a passport or driver's license.

  No, not all crypto wallets require identification. There are certain types of wallets, such as non-custodial wallets or decentralized wallets, that allow users to maintain full control over their funds without the need for identification. These wallets prioritize privacy and anonymity, and are often used by individuals who value the principles of decentralization. However, it's important to note that using these wallets may come with certain risks, as they may not offer the same level of security or protection as regulated wallets.
