Summary
Guide restructured with new "AI Summary" section providing condensed onboarding requirements. No new document types, deadlines, or enforcement consequences introduced—existing rules restated in clearer format.
Why it matters
Sellers should reference the summary section for faster compliance guidance during onboarding, but no behavioral changes required. The underlying document acceptance criteria and matching rules remain identical to prior guidance.
Recommended action
Review the new summary format to familiarize with condensed compliance guidance. No policy-level updates require action beyond current onboarding practices.
One-line takeaway: Fix document mismatches by uploading accepted documents and matching details exactly.
Actionable Steps:
① Upload approved IRS, address, and ID documents ② Enter names/addresses exactly as shown, including punctuation and directions ③ Use clear, non-blurry images
Thresholds & Requirements:
① Proof of Business accepts listed IRS letters only ② Proof of Address accepts statements, utility bills, or active insurance ③ ID accepts specific US IDs; learner permits and paper copies are not accepted
Red Lines & Compliance:
① Do not submit unsupported document types ② Do not mismatch business name, last name, or street details ③ Avoid blurry, illegible, or glare-covered images
Immediate next action: Check each submitted document against exact sign-up details
Required Documents:
Have your Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form (for example, 147C, CP 575), personal ID (for example, Driver License, Passport), and Proof of Address (for example, utility bill, bank statement) ready
