# KYC Overview

> How identity verification works on Gnosis Pay, and what to expect during the process

Before a user can be onboarded to Gnosis Pay, they must complete **Know Your Customer (KYC)** verification. This is a regulatory requirement for financial services — it confirms the user is who they say they are, checks eligibility (e.g., country of residence, age, sanctions/watchlist screening), and helps prevent fraud and financial crime on the platform.

## We use Sumsub

Gnosis Pay partners with **Sumsub** to handle identity verification. Sumsub collects and analyzes the user's identity documents (such as POA) and, depending on the flow, a liveness check to confirm the document belongs to the person submitting it.

As a partner integrating Gnosis Pay, you don't build identity verification yourself — you embed the Sumsub iframe, and Gnosis Pay receives the verification result and status updates from Sumsub on your behalf.

<Note>
  Gnosis Pay allows acceptance of sharing KYC of user from partner instance to Gnosis Pay instance and vice versa within SumsSub. To understand the flow, read [KYC Sharing (Sumsub Flow)](/integration_guides/kyc-sharing-sumsub-flow) guide to integrate this flow into your application.

## KYC statuses

As a user moves through verification, their KYC application passes through a series of statuses — from initial document collection, through automated and (where needed) manual review, to a final outcome.

<Note>
  See the full [KYC Statuses](/concepts/kyc/kyc-statuses) reference for what each status means, what the user experiences, and suggested user-facing messaging for each.

## Country eligibility

Not all countries of residence are eligible for registration. Eligibility depends on regulatory coverage and Gnosis Pay's supported jurisdictions.

<Note>
  See [countries of residence eligible for registration](https://kb.gnosispay.com/articles/7878909911-mandatory-info-countries-of-residence-eligible-for-registration) for the current list.

## What's next

Once KYC is approved, the user is moved to next onboarding state which is account provisioning and deploying a new safe on behalf of user.
