Perform Document Check
You can run this check immediately via our Demo Postman collection. It's publicly available and doesn't require an account.
Document check API flow
The first step in creating any check is to create a client from your backend server. A client can be a person or a company. For a person, you must provide their first name and last name. Only the name is required for a company.

The response will contain an
id (the Client ID). It is required for the next step.{

Create a document by providing the Client ID and document type (e.g. passport, national ID).

Upload a BASE64 encoded image of the front-side of the ID document. Depending on the type and country combination, both sides of the ID may be required.
Images should be JPG, PNG, or PDF and between 34 KB and 4 MB in size.
Below is a sample BASE64encoded file. Download it, and copy its content. Then paste into the
data attribute when making the request.base64-encoded-id-sample.txt
