Identity, License and Insurance Verification

1 What is the verification policy?

Begin A Project's policy ensures a trusted marketplace for all users by confirming customer identity through documentation collection. This helps to prevent fraud, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism.

We believe that this requirement ensures a safer and secure online workplace for all Begin A Project members. In addition, several of our service providers, such as our payment gateway providers require us to perform certain checks on customer identity.

2 How do I complete my identity verification?

You can become verified by submitting a valid government-issued ID card and florida license to do business. You will be required to submit your state and local business license. Finally, you will be required to show proof of insurance.

3 What if the details on my account do not match the name on my ID or documentation?

The details registered on your Begin A Project account must match the name on your documentation. You will be asked to confirm your details during the verification process before submitting them for review.

4 What happens if I'm not able to pass verification?

If you are unable to become verified, Begin A Project may place an account limitation or suspend your account as a security measure.

Falsifying your identity is a crime. Begin A Project may report users that provide false documentation.
