A Step-by-Step Guide to Success
Completing a review is a straightforward process when you know what to expect. Most standard reviews are resolved within 3 to 5 business days once all documents are submitted.
- Notification: Look for a red banner at the top of your Stripe Dashboard or an email from the Stripe team.
- Document Collection: You will typically be asked for Proof of Identity (government photo ID), Proof of Home Address, and Proof of Entity (like an EIN letter or Articles of Incorporation).
- Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): For growth-related reviews, you may need to provide "fulfillment proof." For physical products, Stripe often asks for three non-stock photos of your inventory. Pro Tip: Include a sheet of paper in these photos with the current date written on it to prove the photos are current.
- Submission: Always upload documents directly through the secure Stripe Dashboard. Never send sensitive information like IDs via email.
How Our App Helps: Our "Review Checklist" feature generates a custom list of documents you’ll likely need based on the type of review trigger we detected. We help you organize your evidence chronologically, which is a best practice Stripe recommends for faster approvals. We also let you know as early as possible (often before Stripe sends notifications) when you may need to prepare some documents.
The #1 way to speed up the Stripe account review process is to provide transparent, accurate, and prompt documentation.
