Create a person
Person records represent individual natural persons involved in merchant onboarding – specifically legal representatives and ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs). You must create a person record before associating them with a merchant. Person records capture the identity information Tilta needs to perform KYC checks: full legal name, date of birth, nationality, and residential addresses. If you do not provide an external_id, Tilta generates a UUID automatically.
The date_of_birth field uses Unix timestamps in seconds, not milliseconds. January 1, 1980 at midnight UTC is 315532800. Use a timestamp converter if you are unsure of the correct value for a given date.
After creating a person, associate them with the relevant merchant using Add Representative or Add Owner. A person record alone has no effect on merchant onboarding until it is linked.
