Is a physical address required for Stripe?

[helloworld001]

Hello, I will establish a company in another country, but I will use a virtual office service for the company. I accept registrations with Stripe virtual office address. Will I be able to create a stripe account for my company?

Because some payment gateways require a photo of the electricity or water bill to verify the account.

It's not possible to answer without your country.

Thanks for your reply.

Which one are you talking about? From the country I live in? Or from the country where I will establish the company?

They need proof of address of the company

The virtual office address does not have an invoice. How do I prove the address?

 

[helloworld001]

Thats will be the problem. I created stripe business acc they asked for proof of address, but the address is real.

So have you had this problem before?

 

[helloworld001]

No never but just try to get kyc services to pass it.

I'm sorry but this is the first time I've heard of kyc service. What is this?

Definitely you need physical address for Stripe

If you are planning to create business account, yes they do accept virtual address. But you need to provide your real address (it's not important, you can use even if Stripe is not available in your hometown) for personal profile.

I used this for UK company, they asked for proof of address (my personal address) and I sent Wise invoice.

Hello, thank you for your reply. How did you start the company? Do you work with an accountant in the UK?

My company has been dissolved actually but I didn't use any accountant. I have zero idea about taxing

I used some registration agent, but the name doesn't matter because they all have similar pricing. (https://www.google.com/search?q=UK+company+formation)

If you set up it yourself (by using GOV.UK interface) it costs way less (around 30 pounds), but it might be better to use agents for tax advice.

So your company is closed? Why?

UK government asks to send some documents (tax document etc.) at the end of the year but I didn't send them.

If you are good at book keeping and numbers you could calculate the taxes yourself. I would recommend an accountant though, just makes the process much smoother. Search Google for setting up a UK limited company, they can often set up a virtual address at the same time.

Your company will be registered to the virtual address, so you can use the official opening documents you get to apply for stripe. If they ask you for personal details, which I think they do at the end if I remember right, you should send them your personal details even if it isn't the same country, it will surely just be a formality.

No need, virtual can accept. So you can rent adress from some websites i think.

I'm trying to get that for England, but it's a hassle, did you succeed on your side?

 

[ThinkGeeks]

You can use virtual address on stripe.

You can enter your Morroco address, it doesn't matter for business account.

In most cases, all payment processing services require an address with the verification.
