Submit the business's representative and owners — part of business_verification
Replaces the whole record (BusinessPeople) and sets submittedAt.Show more
Replaces the whole record (BusinessPeople) and sets submittedAt. On the CAPPED flow business_verification is done only when the registration is confirmed (or the hosted KYB documents are approved), the signatory matched (POST /v1/activation/signatory-checks) and this record is submitted with representative set and owners non-empty or noOwnerAt25Percent true. owners holds at most 10 natural persons, each with sharePercent 25 to 100, together at most 100 (400 VALIDATION details.field owners); noOwnerAt25Percent true with owners non-empty is 400 VALIDATION details.field noOwnerAt25Percent. idNumberLast4 is the last four characters only (UK National Insurance, US SSN, UAE Emirates ID, Canadian SIN where asked); a longer value is 400 VALIDATION details.field representative.idNumberLast4 and is never stored; India leaves it absent (the PAN already checked stands for it). The date of birth and home address are personal data: kept for the KYB record only, never logged, and audited without their values (activation.business_people_submitted). Once the tenant is LIVE the record is changed by operations: 409 CONFLICT details.reason REGISTRATION_LOCKED. On the NINE_STEP flow 409 CONFLICT details.reason FLOW_NOT_CAPPED (the hosted KYB collects them there). Human session only; Owner only. Idempotency-Key required. this PUT is "Submit for verification". The pre-checks come first: where the country has a register (IN, GB, AE, US, CA) the registration must be confirmed (409 CONFLICT REGISTRATION_NOT_CONFIRMED) and the signatory matched (409 CONFLICT SIGNATORY_NOT_MATCHED), and nothing is stored or sent while either is open. business_verification turns done ONLY when the provider's verdict is verified; meanwhile ActivationState.businessVerification reads in_progress, in_review, needs_more (with the outstanding requirements) or rejected. After needs_more the Owner fixes the listed fields and PUTs the whole record again, which resumes the case. While the case is in_review a PUT is 409 CONFLICT VERIFICATION_IN_REVIEW, once verified 409 CONFLICT ALREADY_VERIFIED, once rejected 409 CONFLICT VERIFICATION_REJECTED (contact support); nothing changes. representative.idNumber (write-only) carries the full identity number only when the provider asks for it (requirement representative.id_number): it is sent to the provider and never stored, logged, audited or answered; idNumberLast4 is then set from it. Each owner may likewise carry dateOfBirth, address and a write-only idNumber when the provider asks for them (requirement fields owners[i].dateOfBirth, owners[i].address, owners[i].idNumber; none is needed at the first submission); an owner's idNumber is forwarded the same way and only its last four characters are kept (owners[i].idNumberLast4, read-only). No provider routed for the country is 501 NOT_IMPLEMENTED KYB_UNAVAILABLE (details.country); a provider that cannot be reached is 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (retryable; the record is kept, the case is not opened; PUT again). The verdict arrives by the provider's signed callback or the periodic reconcile, never by this call; the console re-reads GET /v1/activation.Headers
