Identity verification built for Latin America
Check people and companies against the official registries of the region. One API, one contract, answers in seconds.
Since 2011 we have built direct relationships with the government sources and local data partners of each country, so you can verify a person or a business in Latin America without negotiating country by country.
Three ways to know who you are dealing with
Real-time checks for onboarding, and licensed datasets for enrichment and risk models.

From one identifier to a decision you can file
Real requests and responses from our API documentation.
Get your credentials
We issue API credentials to your team. Log in once and receive a JWT token that you send as a bearer header on every request.
{
"username": "your-user",
"password": "••••••••"
}
// response
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9…",
"expiration": 150
}Send the country and the identifier
Each product has one endpoint per country. For a Peruvian national ID, you send the DNI number in the path. Nothing else is required.
GET /experience-idv-docverifcheck-api-v1/api/ idv-govcheck/v1/pe-identity/{documentNumber}/check-dni Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9…
We ask the official registry
The request goes to the government source that holds the record. In this case, the Single Registry of Identification of Natural Persons of Peru.
