Upload my verification document for Stripe direct deposit
Updated
In this article, we'll guide you through what to do if you receive an email from our payout processing partner, Stripe, asking you to upload a form of government issued ID. This email is legitimate and is a requirement from Stripe in order to send your direct deposit payouts.
Stripe has responsibilities to their financial partners that involve verifying your identity and confirming the legitimacy of your business. In some cases, Stripe may need to collect a bit more information from you to ensure we can continue making transfers to your bank account.
In order to get you fully up, and running with your Stripe account, you may need to upload a scan, or photograph of a government-issued photo ID(driver's license or passport). Once you do so, it will take Stripe 3 - 5 business days for Stripe to verify your identity.
