/certify_business

Most business types require certification after verification to transact, meaning that a business administrator must ascertain and certify that all beneficial owners (there could be 0) have accurate personal information and ownership stakes registered.

To certify a business at this endpoint, the business must have passed verification first and all beneficial owners must either be unlinked or certified.

A list of business types requiring certification is provided here: https://docs.silamoney.com/docs/get_business_types

Requests

header.user_handle should have the handle of the administrator performing the certification.
header.business_handle should have the registered business entity of which the specified individual and administrator are members.

Authorization / Authentication

header.user_handle should have the registered handle to be verified.

Apps using Access Token Authorization

Use a valid access token in an Authorization: Bearer request header.

See Authenticating with an Access Token for more details.

Apps using ECDSA Authentication

Both authsignature and usersignature headers as well as businesssignature are required for this request. The usersignature header should be generated with a keypair registered to the user (either registered from the /register endpoint or the /register_wallet endpoint). The businesssignature header should be generated with a keypair registered to the business user (either registered from the /register endpoint or the /register_wallet endpoint).

See the section on ECDSA Authentication for more detail about ECDSA signature generation.

Note - We recently renamed the field auth_handle to app_handle. For backward compatibility, auth_handle is still valid but has been removed from our documentation.
