# Verification Sessions can now collect verification information for a related Person ## What’s new Connect platforms can now use [Stripe Identity](https://docs.stripe.com/identity.md) to collect [required verification information](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information.md), such as the `document` or `proof_of_liveness` for a [Person](https://docs.stripe.com/api/persons.md?api-version=2025-06-30.basil), while onboarding a connected account. ## Impact When [creating a VerificationSession](https://docs.stripe.com/api/identity/verification_sessions/create.md?api-version=2025-06-30.basil), use the [related_person](https://docs.stripe.com/api/identity/verification_sessions/object.md?api-version=2025-06-30.basil#identity_verification_session_object-related_person) parameter to associate the session with a person from one of your connected accounts who’s required to provide a `document` or `proof_of_liveness`. After Stripe completes verification, collected data is attached to the associated person, fulfilling all unmet requirements. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | |
