Entity Identification
Legal name, jurisdiction of formation, and EIN to uniquely identify the organization and support tax reporting.
Using an Employee KYC Entity Form reduces onboarding risk, documents authority to act for an organization, and centralizes identity evidence needed for payroll, tax reporting, AML, and access control.
Roles listed above coordinate to verify documents, apply authentication controls, and retain the record for audit and legal purposes.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Authentication method | Email plus SMS OTP; upgrade to KBA or ID verification where policy requires. |
| Conditional fields | Show UBO fields when ownership thresholds are met; make attachments mandatory. |
| Attachments required | Accept PDF, JPG, DOCX for formation docs and government ID uploads. |
| Retention policy | Apply automated retention tags and archival after the active period ends. |
Ensure the chosen solution produces a tamper-evident record, supports ESIGN/UETA compliance, and integrates with your document retention and audit processes.
