Hello! I think the most you can do is specify require_id_number here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/identity/verification_sessions/create#create_identity_verification_session-options-document-require_id_number

#

Does that give you the behavior you want?

Not quite, it looks like it’s restricting the SSN field to only be the last 4. I’m really looking to do all 9 digits if possible.

#

I don't know if that's possible or not, but I'm not an expert on Identity. Let me ask internally, hang on.

I appreciate it, thank you. The alternative that I’ve been looking for is if there’s a way to bypass the JS based modal and just provide the information. Something like a more robust payload to a Stripe::Identity::VerificationSession.create that would have a payload of {“first_name”:”John”, “last_name”:”Doe”, “dob”: “2021-09-21”, “country”: “US”, “id_number”: “123-45-6789”}

I don't know of a way to supply information directly like that. Haven't found anything yet, but still looking.

👌 , thank you

Got confirmation that we don't support collecting the full SSN. Looks like you'll need to collect it twice. Sorry I don't have better news!

#

Can you provide more details about your use case and why you need the full SSN for tax purposes? The Identity team is curious and would like to factor in your needs when working on future features.

Gotcha thanks for looking into it. Sure! So we’re needing full SSN in order to do tax remittance for users and also provide end of year documents like W2 and 1099. When users are signing up we’re wanting to collect this information (for those purposes), but also verify identity via ssn / dob for now and possibly include documents (for I9) in the future.

#

Awesome, thanks for that detail! I'll share this to the Identity team.

#

Is there anything else we can help you out with?

Not at the moment, I think I’ve gathered information needed for this tech investigation. Thanks for your help!
