Legal Age

You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your country.

Required Information

During the Stripe onboarding process, you’ll need to provide:

  • Date of birth — Must match your ID exactly
  • Home address — Your current residential address
  • Phone number — A number where Stripe can reach you if needed

Debit CardVisa or Mastercard debit card linked to your bank account
Debit card payouts can be faster (sometimes instant) in supported countries. Bank account payouts typically take 2-7 business days.

Identity Verification

Stripe requires identity verification to comply with financial regulations. You’ll need:
  • Government-issued photo ID — One of the following:
    • Driver’s license
    • Passport
    • National ID card
    • State/Province ID

CountryAdditional Requirements

United KingdomNational Insurance Number
European UnionTax identification number for your country
Don’t worry if you’re unsure what’s required for your country—Stripe will guide you through exactly what’s needed during the setup process.

Business vs. Individual

BeatPass creates individual (personal) Stripe accounts by default. If you want to receive payments as a business entity:
  1. Complete the initial setup as an individual
  2. Contact Stripe support to convert to a business account
  3. Provide additional business documentation as requested
Most producers use individual accounts, which are simpler to set up and maintain.

Supported Countries

Stripe Connect is available in 40+ countries. If you’re unsure whether your country is supported, check Stripe’s supported countries list.
If you’re in a country not supported by Stripe, you won’t be able to receive payouts from BeatPass at this time.

Checklist

Before starting setup, make sure you have:
  • BeatPass producer profile created
  • Full legal name (as on ID)
  • Date of birth
  • Current home address
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Bank account details OR debit card
  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Tax identification number (if required in your country)
