Identifications

An identification contains fields necessary for an ID. No need to give any dashes -, periods . or any other separations, just give the digits/characters themselves.

Note: The first two letters of id_type are the ISO2 country code.

AttributeDescription
id
string
Unique identifier for the Identification.
expiration_date
date
The date when the identification is no longer considered valid by the issuing authority.
live_mode
boolean
This field will be true if this object was created with a production API key or false if created with a test API key.
id_type
string
The type of identification. Pick from the table based on use case.
id_number
string
ID numbers are sensitive information and are not included in API responses.
issuing_country
string

Country code conforms to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.

Not needed for ID types with a country code prepended.

issuing_region
string
The region in which the identification was issued.
document_ids
array
A list of document IDs for documents associated with a given Identification.

Identification-level document types are identification_front, identification_back, and ein_letter; include them under identifications[].documents[] when creating a legal entity.

After a legal entity exists, identifications are managed one at a time through their own endpoints rather than in the legal entity body — see Create Identification, Get Identification, and Update Identification.


📘

Identification Documents included in the creation of Individual Legal Entities must have a size prior to encoding that is greater than 10KB and less than 15MB. For more information, visit Onboard an Individual


Here's the types we support. The ID Category column tells you whether an id_type is a tax ID or a government-issued ID document number, and is the verification_category to use when you report a third-party KYC verification of that ID number on a legal entity. Types listed as both are national identifiers that also serve as the tax ID in their country — send tax_id when you verified it as a tax ID. For a US individual whose SSN you verified, that is tax_id, not government_id_number.

An individual legal entity must have at least one tax ID identification — US individuals must have us_ssn. A government_id_number identification or verification does not satisfy that requirement.
