How to verify your identity

Updated October 24, 2026

What it is for

Stripe, our payment partner, runs the identity verification. You see its form inside Colectin, in Account settings, Verification.

You do not need to be verified to list pieces. You do need it to get paid for your sales and to withdraw money to your bank.

What you need

  • If you are an individual: a valid identity document (DNI, NIE or passport) and the IBAN of the account where you want to receive your earnings.
  • If you are a business: also the company registration number (NIF), details of the legal representative and details of the owners.

Filling in the form takes a few minutes.

How long it takes

Stripe estimates 2 to 3 business days to review the verification. After that, a new bank account is checked in 1 to 2 more business days. You cannot withdraw money until the bank account is verified.

Verification states

In Verification you see where you are: not started, in progress, under review, verified seller, needs more info or rejected. If you are rejected, write to us through support: sending more details does not change the result.

When you are verified, your profile shows the Verified seller mark.

If you sell before you verify

If someone buys from you and you have not verified your account yet, the sale shows as paid once you verify. We tell you with the message Verify your identity to get paid. When you finish the verification, the payment goes ahead automatically.

Withdraw money

You ask for the withdrawal to your bank with Withdraw. Without verification, the screen shows Verify to withdraw. The minimum is 10.00 EUR per withdrawal. Promotional credit can be spent on purchases but cannot be withdrawn.
