POST/api/v1/kyc/photoid/verify

Match a user’s selfie against a government-issued photo ID (passport, NIN, voter’s card, or driver’s licence) and read the details extracted from the ID.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`Authorization`	Yes	Your app’s secret key, sent as-is — not `Bearer`.
`AppId`	Yes	The App ID from your dashboard.
`Content-Type`	Yes	`application/json`

Body parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`photoid_image`	string	Yes	The photo ID image, Base64-encoded (passport, NIN, voter’s card, or driver’s licence).
`selfie_image`	string	Yes	The selfie image, Base64-encoded (strip the `data:image/jpeg;base64,` prefix).
`first_name`	string	No	Expected first name, to cross-check against the ID.
`last_name`	string	No	Expected last name, to cross-check against the ID.

Response

Returns an entity.selfie object with the face-match confidence_value (0–100) and a boolean match, plus image-quality flags, the detected card_type, and per-name match results.

As a guide, a confidence_value of 90+ is a strong match and 60+ is a successful match. Tune the threshold to your risk tolerance.

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Bad request — a required field is missing or the image is malformed.
`401`	Unauthorized — check your key and `AppId` (no `Bearer` prefix).
`402`	Insufficient wallet balance. Fund your wallet.
`429`	Too many requests — back off and retry.
