What documents do I need to verify my business?
You provide company registration details, upload business documents, and verify the people who own or control the business. The exact list depends on your business type and country.
Business verification (KYB) has three parts: you provide your company registration details, upload your business documents, and verify the people who own or control the business. The verification screen lists exactly what to submit for your business type and country, so you always see the specific requirements before you start.
What to have ready
Before you begin, it helps to have:
- Company registration details — your registered company name and number.
- A business document — such as your certificate of incorporation or an equivalent registration document for your country.
- ID for each beneficial owner and director — a government-issued photo ID (passport or driver’s licence) for the people who own or control the business, and sometimes proof of address.
The exact set is decided by our verification partner based on your business type — a limited company, a sole trader, and a non-profit each get a slightly different list. Sole traders are verified as individuals, so you may see fewer company documents and more personal ID steps.
Tips for a clean first pass
- Use clear, full photos. Make sure the whole document is in frame, in focus, and not cut off — blurry or cropped images are the most common reason a document is sent back.
- Use current documents. Expired IDs are rejected.
- Match the details. Names and addresses should match across your documents and what you entered at sign-up.
