Verification Method
As part of the ID Check process, verifying the authenticity of submitted documents is an essential step. The main ways to verify the authenticity of documents are as follows
- MRT: Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD), which uses machine-readable areas to verify IDs.
- Data Matching: Validates by comparing your information to the information on the submitted document.
- Database Check: Verifies the authenticity of the submitted document through each country's or agency's database.
Note: Authenticity checks are only performed if all the required parameters are entered, and if any of them are missing, the check will not be performed. In Live Form, it is automatically applied based on the project options, but when submitting via API, please check the required parameters. You can find the required parameters for each ID verification on the Verification Input Data page.
MRZ area verification of passports is performed as a scan result of OCR AI without passing any parameters.

Using the Korea Social Security Number Collection Option
Please contact the Support Center separately to apply the option to collect the last digit of the Korea Social Security number.
Note: Collecting the last digit of the national ID number is essential for verifying the authenticity of national ID cards and alien registration cards. Please verify that your organization is part of a business that can collect the last digit of a user's Social Security number, which is sensitive information, before setting the ID Verification option.
ID Verification Cautions
If you enter incorrect information more than five times during ID Verification, your account will be locked and you will not be able to request additional verifications until you manually unlock it. Please be careful not to make too many verification requests with inaccurate information.
Note: If your account is locked, you (the customer) must unlock it yourself.
