Confirms a Kenyan driver's licence and returns the holder's record, including licence class, issue and expiry dates, blood group and smart-DL booking status.

POST /api/v1/id-verifications/identity/ke/drivers-license

Authenticate with your API key (x-api-key) or a bearer token.

Requires the KYC_KE_VERIFY and KYC_RESULT_VIEW permissions. Sending validations.data also requires KYC_DATA_VALIDATE; sending validations.selfie.image also requires KYC_IMAGE_COMPARE.

Request body

Name	Type	Description
id*	String	The driver's licence number.
isSubjectConsent*	Boolean	Confirms the subject consented to the check. Must be true. Rejected before the provider is called, so a false costs you nothing.
validations	Object	Optional. Details to compare against the record we find.
validations.data.firstName	String	First name to compare.
validations.data.lastName	String	Last name to compare.
validations.data.dateOfBirth	String	Date of birth to compare, YYYY-MM-DD.

Fields marked * are required.
