Summary

Didit’s South Africa Criminal Screening by Face Verification service compares a submitted selfie against published, authoritative criminal-record datasets to identify potential matches and provide a normalized, machine-readable result for onboarding decisions. Designed for regulated and trust-sensitive sectors such as fintech, crypto, lending, marketplaces, gaming, and gig platforms, the service aims to provide an auditable source-based screening record rather than relying solely on user-provided documents or details. It is available through a single HTTPS POST request to Didit’s database-validation endpoint using the ZAF country code, the zaf_criminal_face_screening service identifier, and a selfie, with optional score and match-limit parameters, or through a no-code Business Console workflow. Responses include a match type, field-level validation outcomes, and matched source data, enabling approve, review, or reject routing. Results generally arrive within seconds, conclusive queries cost $7 each, unsuccessful or unavailable-source requests are not billed, and users must provide documented consent before screening; Didit also offers 500 free monthly verifications for testing.
