Stripe fake proof of address

[SomeoneNice]

Hey,
so Stripe isn't supported in my country, but I managed to open an account with a Wise account for German stripe account.

However, now they are asking me for a proof of home address, which I of course don't have. Will it work if I just take a template of some kind of utility bill, and change the name and address there to mine (using a third party parcel forwarder address for it)?

Kind regards

I think home address will be fine. I used my Armenian address and it gave me no problem. As long as company operating address is in allowed country

In what region did you open your Stripe account? And did you also just fake a utility bill but you put your actual address in it?

That's weird, how come they didn't ask you for a proof of address, but they did ask me for one?

Setup a UK company and use it for Stripe, that may work.

Yeah but question is, what will be the costs? How much tax/vat will I have to pay every X amount of time? What are the maintaining costs?

It is one of the cheapest to maintain. If you don't have the money after the year and, just forget about the company and don't renew it. No one will come after you anyway.

Do you maybe have some reference links for me to read about that? Would be helpful

Also, are you referring to a UK LTD? LLP? and what are the general estimated costs of forming & maintaining the company are we talking here?

Stripe is a Irish-American company, that means you would be committing wire fraud, money laundering, and possibly bank fraud.

That is roughly 35yrs per complete count.
