Non-document verification in Kenya enables users to confirm identity by entering a national ID number and completing a live selfie rather than submitting images of physical documents. The process uses the Integrated Population Registration System (IPRS), which reportedly covers about 95% of Kenyan adults, to retrieve government-held demographic and photographic records, compare them with liveness-checked facial biometrics, validate submitted details, and return an approval, review, or rejection decision within seconds. This approach is positioned as particularly suitable for Kenya’s mobile-first economy, where M-Pesa has shaped expectations for rapid digital services and regulations require financial institutions to conduct robust KYC checks. It may support onboarding across fintech, digital lending, telecom SIM registration, healthcare, insurance, and e-commerce by reducing document-related friction and manual review. Didit presents its platform as an API-based provider of this service, offering stated pricing of $0.30 per verification, free monthly verifications, AML screening, ongoing monitoring, and additional verification tools, while also supporting document verification across more than 220 countries.
