The decision this page supports

This route is for a New Zealand business keeping a South African verification result separate from local customer due diligence. The result should identify the service used, the input supplied, the returned fields and the time of the request. It should not be presented as a legal determination for either country.

VerifyNow service boundary

VerifyNow does not determine foreign-law compliance, employment eligibility, immigration status, customer risk tiers or acceptance. It also does not turn a South African result into a passport, address, source-of-funds or beneficial-ownership check.

Review the evidence in order

  1. Define the decision and lawful purpose before requesting data.
  2. Choose the exact South African service needed.
  3. Record the returned fields without expanding their meaning.
  4. Apply the receiving organisation’s local review and cross-border safeguards.

What a supported result means

A South African ID check confirms the supported identity fields returned by that service. Document Authentication, Face Match, Passive Liveness, AML/PEP screening, company checks and bank-account verification are separate services with separate inputs and results. Select only the checks justified by the use case.
