## Verifying your customers (resellers & multi-tenant)

If you onboard your own customers under sub-accounts, each `customer_use` sub-account must complete KYC **in its own name** before it can place calls. A fresh `customer_use` sub-account is created with `kyc_calls_blocked: true` and stays blocked until verification completes.

You can run that verification programmatically rather than sending each customer to the console:

| Approach                                            | Best for                                                                                           |
| --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Per-document API](/sub-accounts/kyc/overview)      | Building KYC directly into your own onboarding UI — PAN, GST, CIN, or Aadhaar via DigiLocker.      |
| [Hosted KYC session](/sub-accounts/kyc/kyc-session) | Emailing the customer a signed Vobiz-hosted link, or redirecting them inline to the hosted widget. |

<Note>
  Document requirements follow the customer's `business_type` (individual vs. registered company). Build and test the whole flow without real documents using [KYC Test Mode](/sub-accounts/kyc/test-mode).
