Acceptable verification documents
Acceptable verification documents by country
Below is a listing of documents that Stripe can accept as proof of identity, address, and entity for each country Stripe supports.
Some forms of documentation require scans of both the front and back of the document. For these, use the document_back
parameter to provide the back of the document. Unless explicitly noted, only a scan of the front of the document is required.
Stripe only accepts a passport to verify someone’s identity when a Stripe account and an individual associated with that Stripe account (for example, Business Representative, Owner) are from different countries. For example, if the business address is in the US, but the representative or owner of the business has a non-US address, then only their passport is accepted for verification of their identity. A passport scan is the only acceptable document in these cross-border situations.
