VerifyPhotoId

POST 
/verify/photo-id

Experimental (beta): This feature is new and currently in beta.

This endpoint extracts details from a photo ID, validates the fields, and optionally matches the document photo to a face scan.

You provide:

  • sub_type (required) - must be one of:
    • Passport
    • NationalId (MRZ-enabled IDs only)
    • DrivingLicence (GB and EU countries)
    • PASSCard (including Citizencard and Young Scot)
    • UnfamiliarPhotoId
  • front (required) - the front of the photo ID document.
  • back (NationalId only) - the back of the photo ID document.
  • country_code (DrivingLicence only) - the issuing country as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (e.g. GB, DE, FR).
  • face_scan (optional) - a face image to compare with the photo on the document.

File requirements: Max 10MB per file; JPEG or PNG only.

Sandbox testing: In sandbox mode, the endpoint returns a mock “pass” response. It echoes back your reference values. It does not process the document.
