# Going Live Checklist

> Everything required before your BaaS partner application can be approved

[Submit Application for Review](/api-reference/onboarding/submit-your-application-for-review)
checks these in order and tells you exactly what's missing — but it's
easier to just have all of it ready up front.

## 1. Sign the partner agreement

[Sign the Agreement](/api-reference/onboarding/sign-the-partner-agreement) — one call, no body.

## 2. Add a compliance representative

[Add Your Compliance Representative](/api-reference/onboarding/add-your-compliance-representative) —
the individual Rex holds accountable for this account. Runs a KYC check
immediately; you'll know right away if it failed. **BVN is permanent once
set** — double-check it before submitting.

## 3. Choose a business type

Set via [Save Business Information](/api-reference/onboarding/save-business-information)'s
`business_type` field. This decides both your document checklist below and
whether an `rc_number` is required (every type except `not_registered`).

## 4. Upload the required documents for your business type

Upload each via [Upload Compliance Documents](/api-reference/onboarding/upload-compliance-documents)
or [Upload a Document](/api-reference/partner-settings/upload-a-document-or-brand-asset).

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="not_registered">
    * **Utility Bill** — required
    * **Valid ID** — required
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="business_name">
    * **CAC Certificate** — required
    * **Business Name Application** — required
    * **Utility Bill** — required
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="limited_liability">
    * **CAC Certificate** — required
    * **Board Resolution** — required
    * **Utility Bill** — optional
    * **Either** Form CO2 *and* Form CO7, **or** a Status Report — one of
      these two combinations is required; you don't need all three documents.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="cooperative">
    * **CAC Certificate** — required
    * **Board Resolution** — required
    * **Utility Bill** — optional
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Uploading a document type that isn't valid for your chosen business type
returns `422 INVALID_DOCUMENT_TYPE_FOR_BUSINESS_TYPE` — the message names
the exact type that was rejected.

## 5. Submit

[Submit Application for Review](/api-reference/onboarding/submit-your-application-for-review).
Every field from steps 1–4 locks against further edits at this point
(`409 PROFILE_LOCKED` if you try) — get everything right before this call.

## 6. Wait for approval

Once approved (`onboarding_status: active`), you can
[switch to `live`](/api-reference/onboarding/switch-environment). Until
then, everything works in `sandbox` — see [Sandbox vs. Live](/guides/sandbox-vs-live).

## Before you send real traffic

* [Configure a webhook](/api-reference/webhooks/configure-your-webhook) and
  verify signatures correctly — see
  [Verifying Signatures](/webhooks/signature-verification).
* Read the token-lifetime note in [Authentication](/authentication) and
  decide how your backend will handle re-authentication.
