Notes

  • Multiple directors can be provided by adding multiple items to the directors array.
  • Either passport or ID card identification documents must be provided for each director.
  • The identification document type must match the provided document IDs (e.g., if identificationTypeId is "IdCard", then idCardFrontDocumentId must be provided).
  • All document IDs must reference documents previously uploaded using the Document Upload API.
  • Director information is often required for regulatory compliance, particularly for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) purposes.
  • Director verification is an important part of establishing the corporate governance structure and beneficial ownership of the company.
  • For companies with complex directorship structures, the Multi-Level Director Answer type might be used instead.
