> Required documents and verification process for businesses in Hong Kong

## Verifying a Hong Kong-Registered Business

Businesses registered in Hong Kong can verify their HitPay account by completing both identity and document verification steps.

## Verification Process

### Identity Verification

The **account representative** must complete:

* ID verification
* Selfie submission

<Check>
  This step is done after you’ve successfully linked your business bank account.
</Check>

### Document Verification

Submit the following documents for review:

* **Business Registration Number (BRN)**
* **Company Registration Number (CRN)** (optional)
* **ARN Business Document** that includes shareholder names
* Supporting business documents

If the account representative is **not listed** in the ARN Business Document:

* A signed **Letter of Authorisation (LOA)** from a company secretary or director
* **Identification documents** (with signature, e.g. passport) of both:
  * The account representative
  * The person signing the LOA

<Note>
  Our Compliance team may request additional documentation depending on your business type or ownership structure.
</Note>

### Common Additional Requirements

* **Complex ownership structures** → Submit a detailed Beneficial Ownership Structure
* **Multiple shareholders or partners** → Submit valid ID of any owner/shareholder with 25%+ ownership
* **Regulated industries** → Submit applicable licenses, such as:
  * Travel Agents Licence issued by the **Travel Industry Authority (TIA)**
  * Hire Car Permit (Private Service Vehicles) issued by the **Transport Department of Hong Kong**

<Tip>
  Ensure that all scanned documents are clear, legible, and not cropped. Names must match the registration documents.
