South African ID Verification: current scope

Submit a valid 13-digit South African ID number through an authorised service. Review the identity details and status returned for that record. Photo retrieval, Face Match, Passive Liveness, document authentication, trace, AML screening, and address evidence are separate checks.

How to use this result

For a review workflow that keeps each source and decision separate, start with the exact input and preserve the original response. Compare returned fields with the information supplied for the case, record mismatches and unavailable values, and route exceptions to a person authorised to decide the next step. Current pricing belongs on the pricing page; timing remains subject to provider availability, input quality, supported records, and any manual work.

Service boundary

The result does not establish that the submitter is the person in the record, authenticate a photographed document, verify a passport or driving licence, set a risk score, approve a payment, or complete a compliance programme.

FIC Act customer-due-diligence duties apply to accountable institutions listed in Schedule 1 and operate through the institution's risk management and compliance programme. A VerifyNow result is one evidence item. It does not classify an organisation, complete every statutory duty, set a risk rating, or make the final decision.

POPIA applies to the processing of personal information. The organisation using the result remains responsible for purpose, lawful basis, notices, access controls, retention, security, operator management, and any cross-border transfer.
