Verification Statuses

If your end user receives documents_required

🚧

Automatic failure after 30 days

If you have an end user that has remained in a documents_required status for 30 days, they will automatically fail KYC.

If you have an end user in this situation, please upload documents as normal, then reach out to us so we can assist.

This means that further verification is required to pass this end user through KYC successfully, and documents need to be uploaded with /documents.

• Use the reasons provided by /get_verifications/<verification_uuid> to determine the type of doc to upload, then use /documents to upload any necessary docs. Make sure to provide the verification_uuid in the /documents call so it is uploaded for the correct verification record on the correct entity.
  • reasons are returned as an array of strings. A few examples include:
    • Unable to verify business name, address, TIN and phone on business records
    • Unable to verify SSN/TIN
    • Unable to verify date-of-birth
  • There are approximately 130 possible reason strings. We have that full list mapped to the type of verification needed available upon request.
• If a verification record goes to documents_required and documents are not uploaded within 30 days, that verification record will automatically fail.
  • Upload a document for a verification record in this state to restart that verification.
• Not a requirement, but you may consider reviewing the PII provided for the entity during /register and updating anything that may be incorrect.
• If the doc is incomplete in some way, such as missing a signature, you will be prompted to upload the doc again.
• If the doc provided does not provide enough further verification to pass KYC, you will be prompted to upload a different doc.
• Priority estimates an approximately 24 hour turnaround time for reviewing uploaded docs.
• There is NOT a limit on the number of times the same or different docs can be uploaded for a single verification record, but each entity is limited to a single verification record. If an entity has already begun the KYC process, you will receive an error if you call /kyc again.
