# Add a representative

Moov accounts associated with businesses require information regarding individuals who represent the business. You can provide this information by creating a representative. Each account is allowed a maximum of 7 representatives. Read our [business representatives guide](https://docs.moov.io/guides/accounts/requirements/business-representatives/) to learn more.

To access this endpoint using an [access token](https://docs.moov.io/api/authentication/access-tokens/) you'll need to specify the `/accounts/{accountID}/representatives.write` scope.

## API Endpoint
