Identity Document Verification
Initiate a new Identity Document Verification
Verify a person's Identity Document by sending the file containing their Identity Document (identity card, passport, residence permit or driving license).
An Image Identity Verification can be requested as follows:
- Verification with names: This option checks both the validity of the ID document and the coherence between the names provided and those on the document.
- Verification without names: This option only checks the validity of the ID document.
