Hi, what does 'proof of liveness' mean?
stuck junco
Proof of liveness is the formal Stripe term for photo id. ☺️
stuck junco
No worries. It's at the bottom of this doc:

Ah, you're referring to that selfie. Thank you for sharing.
You can use our hosted onboarding: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/custom/onboarding#stripe-hosted-onboarding which will collect all the required information.
The onboarding handle these collections
stuck junco
Yes. I'm currently using Stripe-hosted onboarding. The Stripe docs recommend checking the requirements hash. Upon checking that the connected account is required to provide a photo id and an address document. The requirement_collection hash can be either Stripe or my platform. I wish to delegate the collection of photo id and address docs to Stripe. Is that possible? How does Stripe obtain those things? Does Stripe email the connected account to ask for them?

The document you shared, https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information#CA--additional-information-on-the-individual does cover next steps:
Your platform needs to integrate with Connect Onboarding to allow such individuals to complete this requirement.
So yeah, you'd use Connect Onboarding , https://docs.stripe.com/connect/additional-verifications

That's what confuses me. In the Api docs I can set the controller.requirement_collection hash to stripe where it says "Stripe is responsible for collecting outstanding and updated requirements on the account".
Right now I'm working on an app where upon returning from the onboarding flow the dashboard says that the connected account needs photo id 😐. Okay so upon seeing that I created a page in my app that allows the user to upload pics of their documents.
modest prawn
yeah, testing these flows help to better understand how it all works
stuck junco
Okay thanks. 👍

Sure
