Stripe Verification for Non-Residents

Stripe verifies non-resident-owned Wyoming LLCs using the same documents required for any US LLC: Articles of Organization, EIN letter, passport, business website, and US bank account. This guide covers the exact requirements.

Answer

Stripe verification for non-resident-owned Wyoming LLCs requires: Articles of Organization, EIN letter (CP575), passport biographic page, business website, US bank account routing and account number, and a clear business description. Verification is typically completed within 24 hours of submission. Stripe may request additional documents (business plan, transaction history forecast) for higher- risk categories or country profiles.

Frequently asked questions

Does Stripe verify the EIN against the IRS?

Yes. Stripe queries the IRS to confirm the EIN belongs to your LLC.

What if the verification fails?

Stripe sends a specific reason. Fix the issue (often a name mismatch or missing document) and resubmit.

Do I need ITIN for Stripe?

No. Stripe uses the LLC's EIN, not your personal ITIN.

How long does Stripe verification take?

Typically 24 hours. Up to 5 business days if additional documents are requested.
