Getting verified on Stripe isn’t just bureaucracy — it’s the foundation of a trustworthy payments relationship. Verification helps Stripe and card networks confirm you're a legitimate business, protect customers, and reduce fraud. Attempting to buy “verified” accounts or forge documents might look like a shortcut, but it exposes you to account termination, frozen funds, chargebacks, and criminal penalties. Don’t do it — instead, follow the legal path below.

Quick Overview: The Stripe Verification Process
Stripe typically verifies three things:
Identity — that the person opening the account is who they say they are (photo ID, selfie checks).
Business — that the business exists and is allowed to accept payments for the goods/services offered (registration docs, website).
Bank — that the bank account for payouts belongs to the same legal entity or person and can receive transfers.
The exact requirements vary by country and business type, but the general flow is: sign up → enter business details → upload KYC documents → connect bank account → pass review.
Pre-Onboarding Checklist (What to Gather First)
Identity documents
Government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, or driver’s license). Ensure it’s not expired.
Social Security Number (US) or local tax ID if applicable.
Business documents
For sole proprietors: a clear business description and proof of activity (invoices, website).
For companies: certificate of incorporation, Articles of Organization, and ownership documents.
For marketplaces or platforms: documentation on how sellers are managed and payouts processed.
Bank & tax info
Bank account number, routing/sort code, IBAN (as applicable).
EIN (US) or equivalent business tax ID.
Website & operational details
Working website or landing page, contact email, and business address.
Clear product/service descriptions, refund policy, and support contact.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Stripe Account
Choose the correct legal entity — sole proprietor, LLC, corporation. This affects taxes, liability, and what documentation Stripe will request.
Sign up on stripe.com — use the business email and correct legal names.
Enter business details — business type, product categories, average transaction size, expected monthly volume.
Add the primary account holder — this must be a real person who can verify identity.
Upload documents — identity documents, business registration, proof of address, and bank verification.
Connect your bank for payouts — test micro-deposits are sometimes used to verify ownership.
Wait for review — often automatic but may require manual checks; respond quickly if Stripe asks for more info.
Document & Photo Best Practices to Avoid Rejections
Use a modern smartphone camera in good lighting. Avoid glare, shadows, and reflections.
Capture full edges and all corners of documents — partial images are frequently rejected.
Include front and back of ID cards if requested.
For proof of address: utility bills or bank statements dated within the last 3 months are preferred.
Save files as JPEG or PNG. Keep file sizes reasonable but high enough quality to read fine print.
Don’t use screenshots from other platforms showing cropped images — upload originals.
How to Describe Your Business for KYC (Sample Scripts)
Stripe reviewers like clarity. Here are short, honest scripts you can adapt:
E-commerce (physical goods)
“We sell handmade leather accessories to customers in the US and EU via our website. Orders are fulfilled within 2–5 business days and shipped with tracking.”
Digital goods
“We provide downloadable photography presets and design templates delivered instantly by download link after payment.
