How do I fix Stripe identity and business verification failures?
This extractable summary outlines the core enforcement diagnosis and the first verified action step.
Direct answer: Stripe verification issues occur when submitted documents fail automated KYC (Know Your Customer) checks due to minor name/address mismatches, unverified beneficial owners (> 25% equity), mismatched EIN/SSN records, or illegible document scans. Re-uploading high-resolution color documents with matching legal data resolves verification holds.
