Business or individual? Use Business Verification to check a company — its registration, directors, and risk. To verify a person, use Individual Verification (KYC) instead.
Verification types
Dojah offers five kinds of business check. Which ones are available depends on the country you choose — Global Check, AML Screening, and Document Analysis work everywhere, while the CAC lookups are specific to Nigeria.Running a lookup
Select + New Lookup to open the form. Choose your Country, the App Name to record the lookup under, and the Verification Type — the form then shows the fields that check needs. For a CAC lookup, you enter the Company Name and/or RC Number.
What you provide depends on the check: CAC lookups take a company name or RC number; Global Check takes a company name; AML Screening takes the organisation name, registration number, and risk categories; and Document Analysis takes an uploaded document. The submit button reads Verify Business (or Upload & Run for a batch).
Verification history
The default view lists everything you’ve run, split into three tabs — one per result type. Each tab opens with its own headline counts and a table you can Search, Filter, and Export.
Status reads differently per check — a business lookup shows Found or Not Found; an AML case shows its match status and risk level; an address check moves through Pending, Completed, Failed, or Cancelled.
Reading a result
Open a verification to see the full result. The header shows the company’s name, an overall status (Verified, Pending, or All Failed), its reference, and how many checks are attached. Down the left is a summary sidebar; the main panel has a tab per verification.
Each verification tab shows that check’s data. A CAC Advanced result adds Directors and Shareholders tables; AML Screening lists any watchlist matches; Document Analysis shows the uploaded document. A failed check shows the error and a retry option instead.
Use Download Report to export the result as a PDF — you can choose which verifications to include — or Lookup Another ID to run a new check for the same business.
