# Required verification information Learn what required verification information you need to collect for each country when using Connect. Onboarding connected accounts to a *Connect* platform requires collecting and verifying certain information for each account. The required information depends on various factors, such as the country and business type of your connected accounts. Learn about the information required from your accounts using the form below. For connected accounts that use a Stripe Dashboard, including Standard and Express accounts, Stripe collects the required information through the account’s Dashboard. (If you have information about a connected account, you can speed up onboarding by adding it to the `Account` object instead of waiting for Stripe to collect it.) For connected accounts without access to a Stripe Dashboard, including [Custom accounts](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/custom/onboarding.md), your [account onboarding flow](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/onboarding.md) must identify and collect the required information.
