New User LegalPersonType: Partnership

Verifying some specific legal structures is now more efficient thanks to a new legal entity type: PARTNERSHIP.

The Legal User LegalPersonType parameter now includes the “PARTNERSHIP” value. The following endpoints have been updated accordingly:
-Create a Legal User (Payer)
-Create a Legal User (Owner)
-Update a Legal User
-View a Legal User

Please note that changing the LegalPersonType to “PARTNERSHIP” for an existing user will automatically result in:
-A KYC downgrade to Light (default) verification 
-The REGISTRATION_PROOF document being flagged as OUT_OF_DATE

With this new LegalPersonType, Mangopay teams can better handle specific legal structures and speed up the validation process.

Note

The structures concerned by the PARTNERSHIP type usually involve a partnership of distinct sole proprietors and don’t always have some of the elements required for the BUSINESS type, such as a company number. 
Examples of these structures include theGesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts (GbR) in Germany and theVennootschap onder firma (VOF) in the Netherlands.
