Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a driver's licence in South Africa?
Upload a photo of the licence card to VerifyNow. Our system decodes the barcode, extracts all data, checks for fraud indicators, and returns a verification report — all within seconds.
Can you detect fake driver's licences?
Yes. Our fraud detection analyses barcode integrity, card layout, font consistency, and security features to identify forged or tampered licence cards.
Does this check if the licence is suspended?
Our verification authenticates the physical card and extracts encoded data. For suspension status, a NaTIS record check would be required, which can be combined with document authentication.
