Internally we divide KYC into two broad categories (objects in our system): Base Documents and Sub-Documents (supporting documents).

1. Base Documents

   Base Documents represent the minimum information we need from users in our system.

   • For Individuals: name, date of birth (DOB), address, email, phone.
   • For Businesses: business name, address, entity formation date, entity type (LLC, corp, etc.), entity scope (industry), email, phone.

2. Sub-Documents (Supporting Documents)

   Sub-Documents are further sub-divided into Virtual Documents, Physical Documents, and Social Documents.

   a. Virtual Documents

     * Social Security Numbers (SSN), Tax IDs (TIN/EIN), or similar unique identifiers which reference individuals or businesses. 
   

   b. Physical Documents

     * Submitted images of physical documents such as government IDs and a passport biographic page.     
     * Delivered as a link to the image. We process these documents via our computer vision stack.
   

   c. Social Documents

     * Social documents help us verify the user's social identity. This includes Facebook user access token, LinkedIn user access token, Twitter URL, Email 2FA, phone number 2FA, and other options (anything else that you want to submit for your records but that you don’t need us to validate).
