# Business Verification
> Submit business or individual verification details and track the status.
Business verification covers KYB for a business and identity verification (KYC) for its
representative. Individual merchants complete KYC with their personal tax details. The
whole application lives in the **Merchant verification** section of the **Settings →
Setting up** checklist — a fresh account starts here:
## Choose an account type
The first step asks whether you are applying as a **Business** or an **Individual**.
| Account type | Registration details |
| - | - |
| Business | Legal entity name, tax residency, registration number and date, registered address, and a dedicated payout contact email |
| Individual | Legal name, tax residency, and personal tax or registration number |
Both account types also provide product and support details. For a Business application,
the registered address country is taken from the selected tax residency.
For Hong Kong addresses, the postal code may be left blank. For China, an Individual
uses a citizen ID with 17 digits followed by a digit or `X`. A Business uses an
18-character Unified Social Credit Code.
## What you need
Prepare the following information before starting:
* the registration details for your selected account type;
* product name, an `https://` website or product URL, and customer support email;
* confirmation that the product is ready, pricing is publicly visible, and the intended use is ethical;
* identity details, including legal name, date of birth, nationality, phone number, and residential address;
* first and last name when applying as an Individual; and
* a clear, non-empty passport image in JPG or PNG format, no larger than 10 MB.
You do not need to enter bank or payout account details to submit business verification.
## Application states
| Status | Meaning | What you can do |
| - | - | - |
| Draft | The application has not been submitted | Continue editing |
| Submitted | Anyway received the application | Wait for a status update |
| Under review | Verification is in progress | Wait for a status update |
| More information required | The application needs a correction or new document | Update and resubmit |
| Approved | The application was approved | Continue with Finance setup |
| Rejected | The application was not approved | Check the available status information |
## Submit or update an application
In the Business view, go to **Settings → Setting up**. Actions that start, continue, or update the application lead here. While the application is under review, the Payout page offers **Refresh status**. A rejected application offers **Contact support** instead.
Under **Application entity**, select the type that matches the applicant.
Enter the registration, product, compliance, identity, and address information.
Use a clear, unedited JPG or PNG image. Make sure the text and photo are readable.
Check names, dates, registration numbers, and addresses before submitting.
If the status changes to **More information required**, open the application, correct the requested fields, upload a replacement document if needed, and submit again.
## After approval
Once every section is approved, the checklist shows **Card / USD available** and you can create Card / USD products and payment links:
The verification items belong to one reviewed application. Editing any of them after approval sends the whole application back to review. Until it is approved again, new Card / USD products, payment links, and payout accounts are unavailable — existing payment links and payouts keep working.
Continue in Finance to add a payout account and manage payout requests.
Add a US, UK, Hong Kong, Alipay, or China payout account and learn how payout requests are processed.
