How Klippa’s Identity Verification API Works
Verify the authenticity of identity documents and onboard your customers anywhere in the world with just a few steps.
Upload an ID to the ID Verification API
The first step is to provide a picture or PDF file of the identity document to our API. You can do so by sending it in from our mobile- or web application. The image can be sent either cropped (without a background) or uncropped (with a background).
If you send the document uncropped, our API will automatically crop the document. It can be used in combination with our Identity Verification SDK to optimize the quality of the image.
Convert the image into text
As soon as the identity document has been received, it is converted to a TXT file by our Identity Verification API. In step two, all text from the data from the ID is extracted, but it’s not yet structured.
Parse the data into JSON output
The text file from the previous step is converted into a structured JSON format by default. However, other output formats such as CSV, PDF, XLM, XLSX are also possible.
With our API, you have an extra option to mask all the privacy-sensitive data before the output is being processed into your system. This is to ensure GDPR and other regulatory compliance.
Validate data fields automatically
The selected data fields are verified after data extraction to ensure that the identity documents are valid. Next to that, our AI algorithms are able to detect whether the identity documents have been tampered with.
This can be done by cross-checking the MRZ with the visual zone or by analyzing the MRZ checksum.
After the field validation is done, the API returns the output to your desired destination (database, ERP system, applications, etc).
