Identity Verification

The compliance process required to activate payment capabilities.

Identity Verification is the compliance process required to activate full payment capabilities through Stripe Connect.

During onboarding, users provide personal or business information including legal name, address and banking details.

Stripe verifies this information to ensure compliance with financial regulations such as anti-money laundering requirements.

Without successful verification, capabilities such as card payments or payouts may remain restricted.

Identity Verification protects both professionals and clients by maintaining a secure and regulated financial environment.
