When it’s time for your business to get verified, if we can’t complete verification using public records, we’ll reach out to ask you for additional documentation.
We may ask you to provide a document showing proof of registration for the business and/or ownership of your business. For proof of ownership, the document should show the latest information about any beneficial owners of the business, including their full, legal name.
If there are other entities which own your business, we may ask for further documents relating to the parent company, so that we can establish who is the ultimate owner. Any documents need to show the names of the people who own the business.
Generally we can accept business documents such as:

We may ask you to provide a valid (non-expired) government-issued ID if we didn’t collect it during the identity verification process. We may also ask for government IDs for beneficial owners and executives of the business. Keep in mind that you can submit government identification on behalf of other business owners.
We accept the majority of government-issued IDs for verification. Learn more about the types of IDs that can be used.
