Each country has specific tax identification and national ID number types that are accepted for verification. ### Business KYB When submitting KYB data for businesses, each associated person (beneficial owners, controllers, directors) must provide their `nationalIdType` matching their `nationalIdIssuingCountry` using the individual identity types below. Additionally, businesses must provide a `businessRegistrationNumber` using the business identity types listed in the separate business table. ### Individual Identity Types by Country | Country | ISO
