Three ways to use it

Where the check fits your flow.

Inside a KYC sessionTurn on the registry lookup when you start a Biometric KYC session. We check the number read from an ID card, passport or driver's licence, or a Kenyan ID card or KRA PIN. If the lookup fails, it's refunded.Biometric KYC From KYC DeskYour staff type in a number, or read it from an uploaded ID, and get a stamped report. No integration needed.KYC Desk
As a single API callCall the lookup directly from your backend when you already have the number.

For developers

One flag in a KYC session.

Ask for the lookup when you start the session. You can also have the session refused up front when no registry exists for that document. 

POST /kyc/client/api/v1/digital-onboarding/start

  "country": "KE",
  "type": "id-card",
  "withLiveness": true,
