Use this API call to perform KYC verification of private companies.
For each company, the same individual can hold multiple stakeholder roles. For example, in a company, a person can be both a director and a shareholder. We strongly recommend submitting an individual in only one stakeholder role. If there is a specific role that must be included (i.e., is required), submit the individual in that role to avoid running multiple KYCs (identity verifications) for the same person within a single KYB, which would be redundant. This is a cost-effective approach. For instance, if John ok Citizen is both a director and shareholder of MY COMPANY, submit John ok Citizen as either a director or a shareholder, but not both. This will prevent duplicate charges for verification. Even if the individual is submitted under one role, bronID will map any additional relevant roles in the background and include them in the documentation.
