Who we need to verify?
Executive directors and major stakeholders (holding 25% or more of company shares and/or voting rights). In the case of an association or charity, all board members need to be verified.
Electronic verification
To carry out the electronic verification the details needed are:
• Date of birth
• Current residential address
When the electronic verification is not successful we will require a valid Proof of Identity and Address. Where a check is partially successful we may only require a Proof of ID.
1. Proof of ID
Take a colour photo of your passport or driver’s licence. No scans or black and white images... and don’t crop the photo. Thanks! Make sure the document’s expiration date hasn’t passed
2. Proof of address
You can use your driver’s licence if it has the address, so long as you didn’t use it as your Proof of ID. If using a letter as proof of your address, it must be dated within the past 3 months. Here’s what’s acceptable – and remember, we need an uncropped colour photo of it:
• Government letter or bank statement
• Utility bill (electricity, water, gas)
• Sorry, mobile phone bills are not accepted
3. Submit the documents to Pleo
Get your proof of ID and proof of address? Great! Send them to your company Admin.
Tip: You can save time by texting the document to your Admin if they’re happy with that. When the Admin has the documents they need, they can head to app.pleo.io/register to submit it all. That can be done on desktop or mobile, whatever works for your team.
