Why does Leegal ask me for supporting documents in the chat?

✅ In Short

Supporting documents depend on the legal form, the activity, the people involved and the address used.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• An identity document, proof of address or activity-related document may be requested depending on the file.
• For a company, partners, company officers or beneficial owners (bénéficiaires effectifs) may require precise information.
• A specific activity may require additional documents.

🧩 Why It Matters

Documents and supporting documents are used to prove or confirm the declared information. They must therefore be readable, consistent and reviewed before signature. A correction made before signature is generally simpler than a correction requested after validation or after the file has been sent.

💡 Simple Example

For example, a company may require documents linked to the identity of the company officer, the registered office (siège social) or the partners. A specific activity may also require additional supporting documents. The useful documents therefore depend on the file.

🔎 Do Not Confuse

A document generated or sent during the process should not be signed automatically. Signature generally confirms that you accept the content. Even if the document seems standard, review the main information before validating.

🛠️ How to Do It on Leegal

• Prepare readable and up-to-date documents.
• Use the same name and address as in your answers.
• Add all useful pages when a document has several pages.

⚠️ Points to Check

• A blurred, cropped or expired document can slow down the file.
• Do not send a document that does not match the person or address declared.

📌 Key Takeaway

Supporting documents help secure the file information and avoid a correction request.
