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)
Stripe will verify your legal entity name, legal entity type (such as Sole Proprietor or LLC), EIN, SSN (or ITIN), and business address. We may ask you to provide official documentation to help us verify these details.
What if the business address on my Stripe 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 Dashboard and navigating to Settings > Business > Business details.
