Requirements for Foreign Documents
When submitting foreign documents to PayMongo, the following guidelines must be observed to ensure smooth processing:
Language Requirement:
Documents must be in English.
If the original document is not in English, an official English translation must be included.
Consularization or Apostille:
All documents must be either consularized or apostilled to be considered valid.
If the document is not in English, both the original and its English translation must be consularized or apostilled together.
Important Note:
PayMongo cannot activate merchant accounts if the submitted documents fail to meet these requirements, even if they are apostilled or consularized.
Following these guidelines will help ensure your documents are accepted without delays.
