Advanced Phone Search
Advanced Phone Searchโ
Resolves a Nigerian phone number against the NIMC database and returns the full NIN record for its owner. Use this when you have only a phone number and need the identity behind it.
POST /api/v1/id-verifications/identity/ng/nin-phone
Authenticate with your API key (x-api-key) or a bearer token.
Requires the KYC_NG_VERIFY and KYC_RESULT_VIEW permissions.
Sending validations.data also requires KYC_DATA_VALIDATE; sending validations.selfie.image also requires KYC_IMAGE_COMPARE.
Request bodyโ
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
mobile* | String | The phone 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. |
validations.selfie.image | String | Base64 or URL of a selfie to compare against the photo on file. |
Fields marked * are required.
Exampleโ
{
"mobile": "08000000000",
"isSubjectConsent": true
}
Every identity check returns the same envelope โ status, data.status (found
or not_found), and the fields specific to this check. We have not yet captured a
live response for this endpoint: the provider's upstream source was unavailable
throughout our verification run, so rather than publish an invented payload we
have left it out. The request contract above is confirmed correct.
