Identity Verification
Infrastructure
for Africa.
LumiID provides identity verification infrastructure for Africa's digital economy — including a KYB API for verifying registered businesses, KYC tools for individuals across Nigeria, and a driver's license verification API for onboarding flows that need more than a national ID lookup. Built for developers who need reliable, well-documented endpoints, not a sales call.
AFRICA
Sovereign Connectivity
We bridge the gap between government registries (NIMC, NIBSS, CAC) and the private sector, ensuring that identity remains a public good powered by private-sector efficiency.
Interoperable Rails
Building for Africa requires handling diversity. Our infrastructure standardizes identity attributes across different jurisdictions to enable seamless cross-border KYC.
Economic Inclusion
By reducing the cost of trust, we enable fintechs and banks to onboard the next 100 million Africans into the formal digital economy safely and instantly.
For Developers
A KYB API Built for Nigerian & Pan-African Business Verification
Our KYB API verifies registered businesses directly against CAC records, returning director information, registration status, and business legitimacy signals in a single call. It's built for developers integrating know-your-business checks into onboarding flows, marketplaces, and fintech partner verification — with clear docs and predictable, versioned responses instead of a black-box portal.

"NIN and BVN aren't always enough. Some flows need proof of a valid, current driver's license."

Beyond National ID
Driver's License Verification API
LumiID's driver's license verification API checks license validity, expiry, and holder details for use cases like ride-hailing driver onboarding, vehicle rentals, and logistics platforms operating across Nigeria. It slots into the same LumiVerify infrastructure as our NIN and BVN checks, so you're not managing a separate integration for a single document type.
Our Methodology
Beyond Simple Validation:
Building Identity Context
Data Orchestration
Aggregating multiple verification vectors—biometrics, corporate records, and government IDs—into a single source of truth.
Biometric Persistence
Advancing the use of face-match and liveness detection as the ultimate anti-fraud standard for the African digital market.
Compliance at Scale
Enforcing NDPR and international data protection standards by design, not as an afterthought.
