POST /api/v1/id-verifications/identity/ke/passport

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 passport number.

validations.data.lastName	String	Last name to compare.
validations.data.dateOfBirth	String	Date of birth to compare, YYYY-MM-DD.
