Two-stage corporate onboarding
For Corporate accounts, the AR's personal verification (KYC) must complete before the organisation verification (KYB) begins. This is by design.
Why this order matters
The Authorized Representative is the natural person legally authorised to act on the company's behalf. Until that person's identity, residence, and authority are verified, EVIDENT has no verified individual to sign documents or initiate transactions for the organisation — even if the organisation's own paperwork is already in good order.
By verifying the AR first, we make sure every subsequent action on the organisation account is tied to a known, verified individual.
What this means in practice
You'll see Personal and Organisation status indicators in the Account Centre. Once Personal turns Verified, the Organisation flow opens and you can start uploading incorporation, ownership, and Professional Investor documents.
