Document verification in three steps
Capture
Your user photographs or uploads their ID through LumiID's hosted widget, API, or SDK — optimized for low-bandwidth conditions and older devices.
Extract & cross-check
We extract every field with OCR, then cross-check the document against issuing-authority data and screen it for tampering, counterfeiting, and photo substitution.
Instant decision
You get a structured pass/fail response with confidence scores and flagged fields — ready to plug straight into your onboarding logic.
Supported documents — plus custom formats
Built and calibrated for the documents Nigerian and African businesses actually see, including older, low-quality scans.
Screened against the fraud patterns that matter here
Document checks are one signal — LumiID feeds every scan into Kura, our fraud intelligence layer, so a clean-looking document is still weighed against device, velocity, and behavioural risk before you make a decision.

Wherever you need to know who someone is
A document alone doesn't prove who's holding it
Pair document verification with liveness and face matching to confirm the person presenting the ID is who they claim to be, in real time.
Match the document to a live face
Compare the photo on the document against a selfie or liveness capture to confirm the same person is on both sides of the check.

LumiLiveness detects spoofing attempts — photos, videos, masks, and virtual cameras — before a document check even begins.
