# Common Questions

**What if my company has a corporate shareholder?**
We look through the corporate structure to identify the individuals who ultimately own or control the business.

**Do all directors need to verify?**
Only those who are also PSCs/UBOs or authorised representatives. We identify all directors but only verify those meeting the criteria.

**What if my organisation is a charity still in the registration process?**
If the charity is not yet officially registered and no governance board is recorded, an authorised representative may provide a letter of authorisation signed by the intended trustees. This written authority must confirm who is permitted to act on behalf of the organisation for the service setup.

**What if I can’t complete Veriff?**
Contact support — alternative verification methods may be available in exceptional circumstances.
