To protect your earnings and comply with US banking regulations (Know Your Customer), Stripe requires specific information to verify your identity.

What you need to provide:

  • Full Legal Name (must match your ID)

  • Date of Birth

  • Home Address

  • Social Security Number (SSN): Usually only the last 4 digits are required. In some cases, the full 9 digits may be needed for tax verification.

Document Uploads:

If Stripe cannot verify you automatically, you may be prompted to upload a photo of your Government-Issued ID (Driver's License or Passport).

  • Ensure the image is clear, in color, and not obstructed by glare.

  • Ensure the name on the ID matches the name you entered exactly.
