Requirements for having a US Stripe account

All US Stripe accounts must meet the following requirements:

  • Unregistered businesses must have a business owner or representative physically located in the US
  • Registered businesses must be registered in the US, even if you operate in another country
  • All businesses must provide the address of the physical location where the majority of your business activity is carried out (PO Boxes are not accepted)

The business information you provide will be verified, including your legal entity name, legal entity type (such as Sole Proprietor or LLC), EIN, SSN (or ITIN), and business address. You may be asked to provide official documentation to help verify these details.

What if the business address on my account is different from the address on my articles of incorporation?

If you are incorporated at a physical US address, you can update the business address on your Stripe account to match the address on the document by going to your Stripe dashboard and navigating to Settings > Business > Business details.
