Stripe Identity
Stripe's identity-verification API offering document, selfie, and database checks integrated into the Stripe Dashboard.
Stripe Identity is Stripe's in-house KYC service, offered as a standalone API and bundled into Stripe Atlas, Stripe Connect, and Stripe Capital flows. It runs ID-document and selfie liveness checks, returns a structured verification result, and integrates natively with the Stripe Dashboard for payouts and Connected Account verification. For platforms building on Stripe (marketplaces, on-demand services), Stripe Identity is often the path of least resistance for KYC.
