How do I verify my identity?

Updated yesterday

Overview

As a financial institution we need you to complete an identity verification process for Juni accounts. This article explains how the verification process works, who needs to be verified, and which documents are accepted.

How to

For Swedish-registered companies:

For companies registered outside of Sweden:

To comply with regulatory requirements, the signing director needs to verify their identity.

To comply with regulatory requirements, at least one company director and all UBOs or ABOs must verify their identity.

The director who verifies their identity will:

  1. Become the owner of the Juni account

  2. Be responsible for signing the application as the final application step


Step-by-step: How identity verification works

1. Juni sends out verification invites

Each UBO/ABO and/or the signing director will receive an email invite with instructions

  1. They’ll be asked to create a Juni user account

  2. They must verify their identity by uploading an ID and taking a live selfie video

Filling out the application on behalf of others? You can select alternative verification options for UBOs/ABOs. Please refer to Option 2 under verification methods below

2. Choose a verification method

For Swedish-registered companies:

For companies registered outside of Sweden:

Option 1: Liveness ID verification (default)

  • Upload a valid ID document (passport, national ID card, or driver’s license)

  • Take a selfie video to confirm your identity

Option 2: BankID (available in Sweden only)

If you’re based in Sweden and have BankID, you can verify instantly by following the onscreen instructions.

Option 1: Liveness ID verification (default)

  • Upload a valid ID document (passport, national ID card, or driver’s license)

  • Take a selfie video to confirm your identity

Important tips for a smooth verification:

  • Use original ID documents (no scans or photocopies)

  • Ensure the ID is clear, in colour, and fully visible

  • Take the selfie in a calm environment, free from background distractions

  • No one else should be visible in the frame

  • Avoid glare, blur, or poor lighting

Option 2: Upload certified ID documents
If UBOs/ABOs cannot complete the liveness flow, certified documents can be uploaded instead:

  • Select Document upload on the verification screen

  • A consent email will be sent to the UBO/ABO

  • Once consent is given, upload a high-quality colour copy of their ID

  • The copy must be certified by a recognised professional (e.g. lawyer, judge, accountant, banker, post official)

⚠️ Document upload is not available for the signing director - they must verify their own identity.
