In order to validate your account and ensure your eligibility as a Wecasa partner, we need to review several documents, which vary based on your specific activity.
These documents should be uploaded in the "My documents" section on your Wecasa Pro app.
Your identity documents
The first required document is your identity document, which will be verified by our payment service provider (Stripe) once your earnings exceed £3000.
This verification is mandatory to prevent money laundering.
We may submit either your driving licence or your passport.
💡Please ensure that the documents are in colour and that the entire document is visible. The sequences of numbers should be clearly readable.
Your share code
If you are not a British citizen, we will need your share code, which is issued by the UK government.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to obtain your share code:

The online results are often accessible within a few days, whereas the physical certificate can take up to 14 days to be delivered.. Typically, you can expect online results within 2 days and the physical certificate by post within 14 days.
