What document can I use to verify my GbR?

To verify your GbR with Stripe, you'll need an official document that clearly shows the GbR's name and address, and ideally its tax ID number.

What types of documents are acceptable?

In practice, the following usually works best:

  • a letter from the tax office stating the tax ID number, name, and address of the GbR

Important: The name on the document must match the name on the bank account

Stripe checks to see if the information matches. Therefore, make sure that

  • the account holder of the payout account is the name of the GbR, as it appears in the official document (including the spelling), and
  • the address also matches.

Where can I find the general list of accepted documents?

You can find the most up-to-date lists from Stripe (by country/organization type) here:
