Statuses describe the country that issued the identity document, not the place of incorporation: an individual's own ID, or the ID of every director and beneficial owner of a company. A company registered in a listed country cannot onboard if a director or owner only holds an ID from an unlisted country (Dodo's pages conflict on whether the company's own country of incorporation must also be listed). Bangladesh, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Ukraine and a few others are closed to new merchants; merchants already onboarded there continue under enhanced monitoring.
