Non-document verification enables identity checks without physical ID uploads by combining a user’s Nigerian NIN or BVN with a live selfie that is biometrically compared against government-held records from NIMC or NIBSS. The process typically captures the 11-digit identifier, performs liveness detection, matches the selfie to an official facial image, validates associated demographic data, and produces a pass-or-fail result within seconds. It is positioned as particularly useful in Nigeria’s mobile-focused financial, crypto, telecom, insurance, and lending sectors, where KYC compliance, fast onboarding, and fraud prevention are important. Didit presents its platform as an API-based provider of this service, offering biometric verification alongside AML screening, ongoing monitoring, address, phone, and age checks, with support for conventional document verification in other markets.
