These documents must be uploaded prior to application approval.

Application Flow

  1. Collect user details, including a picture of the ID and signature.
  2. Submit the application.
  3. Using the application ID, upload documents using Document upload API
  4. Once the application reaches the VERIFIED state, it will be reviewed and approved.
