Identity verification: individuals and businesses

Verify your customers' identities: individuals take a document photo, a liveness check and a face match on their phone, and businesses submit registry details, company documents and key people online. Each check is charged from your account balance, and the result of every step stays in your check records.

Features

The verification provider handles capture and checks; you only hand the link to the person being verified.

Document check: The person being verified photographs an identity document as prompted, and the provider checks the document and the details on it.
Liveness and face match: The selfie includes a liveness check and is matched against the document photo to confirm it is the same person.
Company registry and documents: Checks the company's registry details and the company documents the invited party submits.
Key people and AML: Checks the company's key people and screens them against anti-money-laundering (AML) lists.
One-time handoff link: You get a link and QR code to send to the person being verified; the link stops working once the session is finished or expired.
Notice first, then capture: The person sees the requester name and notice documents and agrees before capture starts; you can replace the name and links with your own.
Unfinished sessions reused: Starting again for a subject reference whose verification is unfinished reopens the existing session without charging again.
Results update automatically: When the provider reaches a result or a manual review changes it, the record updates and a notification and result callback go out.

How it works

Start: Enter a subject reference in the console or through the open API; the price is charged from your balance after you confirm.
Hand off: Send the one-time link or QR code to the person being verified.
Capture: They read and accept the notice, then photograph their document and take a selfie on their phone, or submit company details.
Result: The result comes back to your check records: approved, declined, in review or expired, with each step listed.

Rules

You are charged when you start a check; if the person never finishes and the session expires, the charge is not refunded.
If the provider explicitly rejects the request, the charge is refunded automatically; unclear outcomes are checked first and refunded once the failure is confirmed.
Starting again for a subject reference whose verification is unfinished reopens the existing session without charging again.
Subject references sent to the provider carry a prefix for your account, so different accounts using the same reference never affect each other.
This platform only stores the result, scores, hit counts and risk codes of each step; it does not store names, ID numbers, dates of birth or any images.
Results are advisory; the platform never freezes or rejects funds because of them.

Prices

Check type	What it covers	Price
Individual verification (KYC)	Document check, liveness check, face match	$0.52/check
Business verification (KYB)	Company registry, company documents, key people and AML screening	$3.00/check · +$0.76 per ultimate beneficial owner

Prices are in USD and charged per check from your account balance, with no monthly fee and no minimum spend. The console shows the price and asks you to confirm before each check; the amount in that confirmation is what you pay.

Business verification is the exception: the confirmation shows an amount charged up front for the estimated number of ultimate beneficial owners, and once the result is in we settle by the actual number, refunding or charging the difference. Companies registered in Australia, China, Hong Kong, China, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Vietnam add a $1.20 registry lookup fee.

Supported countries and territories

Individual verification depends on the country that issued the document; business verification depends on the country where the company is registered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which steps does a verification include?

It follows the verification flow the platform currently has configured: individual verification includes a document check, a liveness check and a face match; business verification includes a company registry check, company documents, key people and AML screening. Each step's result is listed in your check records.

What does the person being verified need to do?

Scan the QR code with a phone or open the link, read and accept the notice, then photograph their document and take a selfie as prompted; for business verification, submit company details and key people as prompted.

What if the person never finishes?

The link keeps working until the session is finished or expires, and starting again for the same subject reference reopens that session without charging again. If the session finally expires, the record is marked Expired, the charge is not refunded, and you need to start a new verification.

Whose name does the person being verified see?

After opening the link, they first see a platform page; the requester name, privacy policy and terms on it can be replaced with your own under Integration settings. The provider's capture pages that follow (document photo, selfie) use one platform-wide style and cannot be customized per account.

How do I know when the result is in?

The result comes back to your check records and you get an in-app message, plus email or Telegram according to your notification settings; if you set up result callbacks, a signed event is sent as well.

Where are documents and photos stored?

Capture and checks are done by the verification provider. This platform only stores the result, scores, hit counts and risk codes of each step; it does not store names, ID numbers, dates of birth or any images.

Which countries and territories are supported?

Individual verification depends on the country that issued the document, and business verification on the country where the company is registered. Search by name under Supported countries and territories on this page: individual verification lists the documents accepted in each country, and business verification separates countries where shareholders and beneficial owners are available from those with registry details only.
