# Adds the ability to attest to an Account's authorized company representative ## What’s new You can now record the attestation of an authorized company representative for a Stripe account by specifying these [company](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#update_account-company) parameters for a given [Account](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover): - [representative_declaration.ip](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#update_account-company-representative_declaration-ip) for the originating IP address of the attestation - [representative_declaration.date](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#update_account-company-representative_declaration-date) for the date of the attestation - [representative_declaration.user_agent](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#update_account-company-representative_declaration-user_agent) for the user agent used for the attestation ## Impact A representative is the singular person designated by a business to manage their Stripe account. They are identified by setting the [relationship.representative](https://docs.stripe.com/api/persons/object.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#person_object-relationship-representative) field. In certain countries, Stripe is required to collect and verify that the representative’s information matches government records. When an account is created, the representative should be set to whoever is responsible for managing the account. Accounts that require the attestation of a company’s representative will see `company.representative_declaration.ip` and `company.representative_declaration.date` in the [requirements](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object.md?api-version=2025-10-29.clover#account_object-requirements) field. ```curl curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts/{{CONNECTEDACCOUNT_ID}}/ \ -u "<>:" \ -d "company[representative_declaration][ip]"="67.180.161.149" \ -d "company[representative_declaration][date]"=1737936000 \ --data-urlencode "company[representative_declaration][user_agent]"="Mozilla/5.0 (platform; rv:gecko-version) Gecko/gecko-trail Firefox/firefox-version" ``` ## Changes #### REST API #### Ruby #### Python #### PHP #### Java #### Node.js #### Go #### .NET ## Upgrade #### REST API 1.
