Use the linked pages to move from the answer to the right action: service selection, pricing, registration, or enterprise support. VerifyNow should be used for a defined business purpose, with consent and a lawful basis where personal information is processed. If the answer mentions a capability, check the relevant service page before relying on it for a live workflow, because coverage, data fields, turnaround time, and credit cost can differ by service. For broad onboarding projects, start with the services overview, then narrow the flow to identity, bank, company, AML, trace, vehicle, API, or white-label needs.

Create a VerifyNow account, add credits, then choose South Africa ID Verification or Home Affairs ID Verification from the dashboard. You can verify a 13-digit SA ID number and, where required, add photo matching or document checks for a stronger onboarding flow. Results are available through the dashboard or API, depending on the service selected.

For implementation, decide whether you need a basic ID number check, a Home Affairs ID photo workflow, document verification, face match, or a bundled KYC report. The correct choice depends on your risk level, whether the person is remote, what evidence you must keep, and whether the check is for onboarding, fraud prevention, compliance, HR, tenant screening, or supplier review. Use the linked service pages to compare the options before running a live check. Results should be treated as verification evidence, not as legal advice or a complete compliance programme by themselves. Relevant next steps for this answer are South Africa ID Verification, Home Affairs ID Verification and Register. Use those pages to confirm the current service details, pricing, limits, and implementation path before changing a live onboarding or compliance workflow.

Most dashboard and API identity checks are designed for near-real-time onboarding. Exact timing depends on the service type, data-source availability, and whether you choose a real-time, standard, offline, document, or review workflow. The dashboard and pricing page show the available service options before you run a check.

VerifyNow uses a pay-as-you-go credit model. You buy credits upfront and use them across supported verification services, with each service deducting its own credit amount. Current service costs, starter pricing, volume options, and enterprise pricing are shown on the pricing page and in the dashboard before you run a check.

For cost planning, start with the public pricing page and confirm the exact service you intend to use. Credits are deducted per service, so a basic ID check, photo check, bank verification, AML screen, company check, trace, or vehicle lookup may not cost the same. Higher-volume, API-heavy, white-label, invoiced, or SLA-backed accounts may need enterprise pricing. The dashboard shows the service cost before live checks are run. Use the linked pages to compare pricing, register or log in, and contact enterprise support if your usage will be large or specialised.

VerifyNow is designed for POPIA-aware and FICA-supporting verification workflows. The platform supports consent-led processing, access controls, secure handling of verification data, audit trails, and compliance records. Your business remains responsible for having a lawful basis, using checks for a permitted purpose, and applying the results correctly in your own process.

Treat security and compliance answers as operational guidance, not legal advice. For personal information, your business should define the purpose of processing, obtain consent where required, restrict access, keep records, and apply retention rules that match its obligations. VerifyNow is designed to support secure, audit-friendly verification workflows, but you still need internal policies for who may run checks, when checks are allowed, how results are reviewed, and how data-subject requests are handled. Use the linked resources to confirm the specific compliance page, policy, or support path relevant to the question.

Yes. VerifyNow supports KYC and FICA-aligned onboarding by helping you verify identity, run document or face checks, screen for AML/PEP/sanctions risk, verify bank accounts, and keep an audit trail. The exact workflow depends on your industry, risk profile, and regulatory obligations.

For a compliant workflow, define the customer type, risk level, required evidence, and decision rules before choosing checks. A practical KYC or FICA flow may combine identity verification, face match, document review, bank verification, AML/PEP screening, company verification, and audit records. The linked pages show where each step fits. VerifyNow can support the verification and evidence trail, but your business remains responsible for its RMCP, lawful processing basis, risk rating, suspicious activity reporting, ongoing monitoring, and any legal interpretation needed for its industry.

Use those pages to confirm the current service details, pricing, limits, and implementation path before changing a live onboarding or compliance workflow.

Yes. VerifyNow provides API access for teams that want to automate verification inside onboarding flows, CRMs, internal tools, or customer portals. You can review the API documentation, generate API access from your account, and contact the team for custom or high-volume integration support.

For integration work, first decide which verification services your application needs, whether results must be synchronous or asynchronous, and how your system will store evidence, handle errors, and protect API keys. The API documentation is the starting point for endpoints, authentication, request payloads, and response handling. Custom development is useful when you need branded workflows, bulk processing, CRM integration, or a complex onboarding journey. The linked resources route developers to the right documentation, while enterprise support can confirm service availability, rate limits, security requirements, and implementation scope.

Yes. White label means a product or service produced by one company that another company rebrands to make it appear as if they created it. VerifyNow white-label implementation can support branded verification portals, branded customer flows, API-first integrations, reporting, and custom development for partners or platforms that want to offer verification under their own brand.

Use white label when your business wants to offer verification under its own brand without building the verification infrastructure from scratch. A white-label project may include branded screens, branded emails, reporting, API integration, custom workflows, user management, and partner support. It still needs clear rules for consent, permissible use, pricing, customer support, data handling, and escalation. The linked pages explain the white-label product, API route, custom development option, and partner path. For reseller or platform use cases, confirm commercial terms and operational responsibilities before promising the service to customers.

South Africa ID Verification checks a South African identity number and related identity details for onboarding, KYC, fraud prevention, and compliance workflows. It is useful when you need to confirm that an ID number is valid and belongs to the person you are onboarding.

For implementation, decide whether you need a basic ID number check, a Home Affairs ID photo workflow, document verification, face match, or a bundled KYC report. The correct choice depends on your risk level, whether the person is remote, what evidence you must keep, and whether the check is for onboarding, fraud prevention, compliance, HR, tenant screening, or supplier review.

The KYC Bundle combines core onboarding checks into a single workflow for teams that do not want to run every identity, photo, and trace step manually. It is suited to customer onboarding where identity confidence, fraud context, and a clean report output matter.

For a compliant workflow, define the customer type, risk level, required evidence, and decision rules before choosing checks. A practical KYC or FICA flow may combine identity verification, face match, document review, bank verification, AML/PEP screening, company verification, and audit records. The linked pages show where each step fits. VerifyNow can support the verification and evidence trail, but your business remains responsible for its RMCP, lawful processing basis, risk rating, suspicious activity reporting, ongoing monitoring, and any legal interpretation needed for its industry.

Yes. Face Match compares a selfie against a reference image, such as an ID photo or another approved image, and returns a match result with confidence scoring. This helps reduce impersonation risk in remote onboarding.

Use biometric and document checks when an ID number alone is not enough. A stronger remote workflow often verifies the ID number, reviews the document, compares the selfie to an approved reference image, and records the result for audit. These checks reduce impersonation and document-handling errors, but they should be configured around your risk policy and consent process. The linked pages explain which service fits the step you need. If a document type, country, or data field is business-critical, confirm support before building it into a mandatory customer journey. Relevant next steps for this answer are Face Match and Biometric Verification.

Yes. Driver licence verification helps authenticate and decode South African driver licence card data, including licence categories, restrictions, issue dates, expiry dates, and related licence details where available.

Use vehicle and licence checks for operational verification, dealership workflows, marketplace review, mobility onboarding, rental checks, and fraud prevention. Vehicle lookup focuses on vehicle specification and registration-context details where available, not private owner information. Driver licence verification focuses on licence-card data and related licence details where supported. These checks should not be used as a substitute for legal ownership proof, insurer decisions, police records, or finance history unless those items are separately sourced.

AML/PEP screening checks people or entities against sanctions lists, politically exposed person data, watchlists, crime-risk sources, and adverse-media indicators. It supports FICA, enhanced due diligence, financial-crime risk review, and ongoing monitoring processes.

Use AML, PEP, sanctions, watchlist, and adverse-media checks as part of a risk-based onboarding or monitoring process. The result should be reviewed against your internal policy, because a possible match may need human review, supporting evidence, escalation, or enhanced due diligence before a final decision is made.

Yes. Company Verification uses CIPC company data to help verify a business, registration status, registration details, directors, and related company information. VerifyNow does not replace a legal due-diligence opinion, and unsupported items such as tax compliance or B-BBEE certification validation should be separately scoped.

For business onboarding, combine CIPC company checks with director identity checks, AML/PEP screening, bank account verification, and document collection where needed. CIPC data can support KYB, supplier review, procurement checks, and conflict-of-interest screening, but it does not automatically prove every compliance item a buyer may request.

VerifyNow supports selected African identity verification workflows, including dedicated Nigerian identity verification and broader Africa verification for supported markets. Country, document, and data-source coverage can vary, so check the relevant service page or contact the team for your exact use case.

For cross-border verification, confirm the country, document type, data source, and required result before designing the workflow. Coverage differs by market, and not every African identity, bank, phone, or document check is available in the same way. Nigerian identity verification has dedicated flows, while broader Africa verification is used for supported regional onboarding.
