Non-document verification is an innovative identity verification method that allows users to confirm their identity without using physical documents by submitting their national identification number and a liveness selfie, which is then compared against official government records for validation. This approach addresses common issues with document-based verification, such as poor image quality and cumbersome processes, particularly benefiting South Africa's digitalizing financial sector where it offers a streamlined, FICA-compliant solution. The system relies on South Africa's Department of Home Affairs' National Population Register, which contains biometric and demographic data, including the modern Smart ID Card that encodes personal information for enhanced security. Businesses, especially in the fintech sector, are increasingly adopting non-doc verification to meet regulatory requirements, improve user experience, and support financial inclusion by eliminating the need for physical document possession. Didit provides a cost-effective, API-first platform that facilitates seamless integration of this verification process, offering compliance tools like AML screening and supporting businesses across multiple countries and document types, thus enhancing scalability and operational efficiency in a competitive market.
