You will be asked to upload enough documents to verify these required details. Depending on your organization’s complexity, this may take 1–5 documents.

Document Requirements

All documents must be dated within a specific time frame (or certified) as detailed here:

  • Proof of good standing must be issued within the last 6 months.

  • All other documents must be dated within the last 12 months.

  • If we are not able to publicly verify the business’ existence, good standing and ownership structure, we may require your documents to be certified.
