Why Is My W-9 Verification Pending?

If your W-9 status shows as “Pending”, it means we were unable to verify the tax information submitted in your Lumanu profile.

To complete verification, you may need to submit a signed W-9 and supporting documentation for review by our Verification Team.

To complete your verification, please send us a completed W-9 form.

Steps:

1. Download and complete a fillable W-9 form

2. Save the completed form as a PDF

3. Email the document to vendors@lumanu.com

4. Include your Lumanu account email in the message so we can locate your profile

Our team will review your submission and update your verification status.

If you completed your W-9 using an Employer Identification Number (EIN), please also include documentation verifying your business.

Examples of acceptable documents include:

Business formation documents

• Articles of Organization

• Certificate of Formation

• Articles of Incorporation

Ownership documentation

A document showing you as the owner or member of the business

EIN confirmation

• IRS EIN Assignment Letter (CP 575 or similar) showing you as the authorized person for the business

These documents help our Verification Team confirm the business ownership associated with the EIN.

If you are completing the W-9 using a Social Security Number (SSN), additional business documents are not required.

After we receive your documents:

• Our Verification Team will review your submission

• If everything is confirmed, your W-9 status will be approved

• If additional information is needed, our team will reach out

If you’ve already emailed your W-9 and would like a status update, contact vendors@lumanu.com and our team will be happy to help.
