Has anyone transferred brokerage assets between accounts under different citizenships?

I’m in a bit of a unique situation and would love to hear from others who’ve dealt with this.

I have dual citizenship and opened brokerage accounts in the U.S. with two different brokers under each of my nationalities:

* My TradeStation account was opened using my Moldovan citizenship and ID.
* My Interactive Brokers account was opened under my Romanian citizenship.

Now I want to transfer my assets (ETFs) from TradeStation to Interactive Brokers. But I’m concerned that the brokers might reject the transfer due to KYC mismatches — different IDs, possibly different countries of residence, and technically different legal identities in their systems (even though I’m the same person).

Has anyone successfully done a broker-to-broker transfer in a similar situation?
