Identity Document Additional VerificationsInvite only

Learn how to collect and verify government-issued identity documents from connected accounts.

The Document Additional Verifications API allows you to enforce the mandatory collection and verification of government-issued identity documents for account representatives on a connected account. Stripe identifies these requirements as currently_due or past_due until the user (connected account) satisfies the requirement.

Identity document verification

When you request a document additional verification, Stripe:

  1. Collects a government-issued photo ID from the account representative.
  2. Verifies that the document is authentic and hasn’t been tampered with.
  3. Extracts and validates information from the document.
  4. Optionally matches a selfie to the photo on the document (with require_matching_selfie).

Identity document verification helps with:

  • Validating that your users are who they claim to be
  • Reducing the risk of fraudulent accounts
  • Meeting regulatory requirements in certain industries
  • Protecting your platform and the connected account’s customers
