Fix Stripe KYC Verification

Stripe requires verification for both the business AND owners. Many users verify themselves but forget to verify the business entity or vice versa.

LLCs and corporations need EIN letters, Articles of Incorporation, or business licenses. Sole proprietors need tax documents matching the business name.

If your business has multiple owners (25%+ stake), each one needs to verify. Missing owner verification blocks the entire account.

Your registered business address must match official documents. PO boxes, virtual addresses, and registered agent addresses often cause mismatches.

💰 Why are my Stripe payouts on hold?

Stripe requires verification before enabling payouts. This includes verifying your identity, business entity, and all owners with 25%+ stake. Incomplete verification blocks payouts.

⏱️ How long does Stripe verification take?

Personal ID verification is usually instant. Business verification takes 1-3 business days. Complex cases or additional document requests can extend this to 1-2 weeks.

🏢 What business documents does Stripe accept?

IRS EIN letter (CP 575), Articles of Incorporation, business license, or partnership agreement. The document must show your exact business name and EIN.

👥 Do all business owners need to verify?

Yes, anyone owning 25% or more of the business must verify their identity. You'll also need to verify one "representative" who can act on behalf of the business.
