Data collection and verification per organisation type

List of different identity verification procedures that bronID follows depending on the type of organisation that is verified.

bronID follows different identity verification procedures depending on the type of organisation that is verified. For each organisation type, bronID verifies the organisation and identifies and verifies its Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs). In some cases, the organisation may not have UBOs, or there is no need for them to be identified and verified.
