How do you ensure that your account is certified on the first attempt?
You will be able to do so, by providing the three documents required by Adyen and respecting the next rules:
1. The legal representative identity document
The legal representative is the person who represents the organization in a court of law, also who signs contracts or grants applications on behalf of the organization.
The table shows the supported photo identification documents and the data to provide for that document. Please provide one of them:
Document |
Information |
Passport |

Driving License |

When you upload a photo ID, it must meet the following requirements:
- Not expired
- In color
- MRZ must be visible (if available)
- Separate files for the front and back of the ID document (only when submitting an ID card or driver's license)
- Authorized format(s): JPEG, JPG, PNG or PDF (max. 2 pages)
- Minimum size authorized: 1 KB pour le PDF, 100 KB for other formats
- Maximum size authorized: 4 MB
2. Verification of your organization's bank Account
The bank account statement is a document issued by your organization's banking institution that contains the identity of the holder of a checking account and their associated bank details.
The conditions of a bank account statement to be validated by Adyen:
- The statement must be in the name of the organization
- The routing code of your account is required
- The statement must be recent (if there is a date displayed, it must not be older than one year)
- The document must be very clear and legible
- The name and logo of the bank and the account number must be mentioned on the document
- The name of the association as an abbreviation is accepted on the statement.
3. Verification of your organization
You can upload the following documents for this step:
- IRS Document with EIN (Employer Identification Number)
- W9 Form
EIN (Employer Identification Number)
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique identification number that is assigned to a business entity so that it can easily be identified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
It is imperative that the legal name of the organization registered with the IRS be used when completing this step. No anagrams or abbreviations will be accepted.
Is your organization exempt from the IRS? You can provide an Article of Incorporation, signed and dated with today's date, stating that your organization is not subject to tax.
W9 Form
W-9 is used in the United States income tax system by a third party who must file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It requests the name, address, and taxpayer identification information of a taxpayer.
