# Government ID Verification

> Verify identity against government databases. Voters ID, passport, driver's license, and more via API or SDK.

Verify user identities directly from authoritative government databases, without friction.
This module allows you to pull and confirm identity details such as name, date of birth, gender, etc from official sources
like Voters ID, Driver’s License, International Passport, and other records.
It's the fastest way to validate that someone is who they claim to be, using the data governments already trust.

### How to Run a Check

    Query government databases by sending ID information directly to our APIs.
    This option does not confirm that the person submitting the ID owns it. It only confirms the ID is valid and matches government records. You can further validate with the liveness API
  </Card>

  <Card title="SDK/Libraries" icon="cubes" href="/sdks/overviews" arrow="true">
    In addition to identifying the ID, you can validate that the user owns it. This is done either by matching a selfie against the government image or by confirming access to a registered phone number via OTP.
