Multiple TINs collection for CARF regulation

Under the 2026 CARF regulations, all crypto-asset service providers must collect a set of personal data from their clients through a self-assessment process. This data set includes the requirement to collect all tax identification numbers (TINs) associated with the applicant’s countries of tax residency.

With Sumsub, you can be fully compliant with the CARF regulations by collecting multiple TINs and validating their formats. To enable this, include the Applicant data step in your verification process and configure the required fields accordingly.

2FA for accessing sensitive data

To enhance security and reduce the risk of data theft (e.g., from a malware-infected laptop), we’re introducing a feature that requires Dashboard users to complete 2FA when accessing potentially sensitive endpoints.

Reset button for verification steps

We have added the Reset step button for both the verification levels and the Identity document module. This button can be found in the sidebar of the applicant page and within the Identity document module, respectively.
