The only way to regain access to your account is to contact our support team with the following information:
- Email address
- Postal address
- Two different documents proving your identity (passport or local ID card for individual accounts + certificate of incorporation for companies)
- A phone number to contact you on

- A card statement showing the Scaleway bill debit
Once you have collected all this information, send them to document@scaleway.com.
