# Accept an earlier identity verification

> Link an existing Stripe photo ID verification completed under earlier requirements.

Some Operators completed Stripe verification before a selfie was required. Staff can
accept that earlier evidence without asking the Operator to repeat the check.

1. Open the correct client in **Admin → Onboarding → All requirements → Identity verification**.
2. Expand **Identity evidence & corrections** and paste the Stripe Dashboard session
   or customer link into **Stripe Dashboard link**.
3. Select **Link existing verification**. The app checks the Stripe account, environment,
   verified photo ID, name and linked Operations opportunity.
4. If the session did not require or perform a selfie check, the app asks for confirmation.
   Select **Accept earlier verification and link** only when it was completed under
   your earlier requirements. If another account uses the session, also review the
   displayed account before confirming.

The app records the reviewer, time, Stripe session/report and that a photo ID without
a selfie was accepted under earlier requirements. It writes **KYC Verified** to the
linked Operations opportunity and confirms the CRM save before completing onboarding
identity. The staff panel retains the acceptance explanation.

First name and full surname must match the Operations contact and saved identity
evidence. Middle names may differ or be omitted without review. Compound surnames and
suffixes are preserved. For a nickname or another name difference, use the separate
[identity name review](/staff/identity-name-review) confirmation and record a reason.
You must also accept the displayed earlier-verification warning before linking.

This option cannot accept failed or incomplete document/selfie checks, a session that
required a selfie, or a session created by this app's verification flow. New Operator
verifications still require photo ID and matching selfie. Card ownership and signed
agreement review remain separate.

Use **Reopen verification** to undo acceptance. This returns CRM KYC to Incomplete and
detaches the session without canceling it in Stripe.
