Every company provides the following documents:

- The latest annual accounts of the company.
- A valid identity document for each beneficial owner.
If your company does not have annual accounts yet, for example because it was recently created, see our article on proof of funds for the other documents we accept.
The names of these documents vary from country to country. You will find the documents to provide for each country below. If your company is established in another country, provide the equivalent documents from the list above.
