All business and individual customers (including associated persons) verified by Bridge must satisfy our
identifying_information requirements. These requirements consist of providing a valid Tax ID document and Government Photo ID.
Individuals and Associated Persons
National/Tax Identification requirement: You must include at least one valid identification number to satisfy the tax id requirement. Please reference this list for acceptable types for individuals. You can also optionally provide apassport or national_id number (image optional) and we will accept this as a valid Tax ID for all countries except for the US.
For US-based Individuals: only an ssn or itin is valid.
Government Photo ID requirement: All non-US individuals must include a valid government issued photo ID. The following types are acceptable: drivers_license, matriculate_id, military_id, permanent_residency_id, state_or_provincial_id, visa, passport, national_id.
Please contact support if you have a use case for a different government issued photo ID that you’d like Bridge to consider adding.
The number of this document is optional but the image_front is required.
For US-based individuals: Although optional, we strongly recommend providing a photo ID to streamline their onboarding (higher likelihood of automatic approval), minimize RFIs, and reduce transaction reviews/delays.
Other Considerations: For non-US individuals, a passport or national_id can be used to satisfy both the individuals tax id and government photo id requirement if you provide both the number and image_front of the document.
