How do I verify an ID in South Africa?
Register, add credits, then run South Africa ID Verification or Home Affairs ID Verification from the dashboard or API. For stronger onboarding, pair the ID check with face match, document verification, AML/PEP screening, or the Standard KYC Bundle.
How does pricing work?
VerifyNow uses pay-as-you-go credits. Buy credits upfront, choose the service you need, and the service cost is deducted from your balance. Higher-volume, API, white-label, and enterprise use cases can be scoped separately.
Can I integrate VerifyNow with my app or workflow?
Yes. VerifyNow supports dashboard checks, REST API integration, white-label deployment, and custom development for onboarding flows, CRMs, internal tools, portals, and high-volume verification operations.
Is VerifyNow POPIA and FICA aligned?
VerifyNow is built for POPIA-aware and FICA-supporting workflows with consent-led processing, access controls, audit-friendly records, and compliance resources. Your business still needs a lawful basis and the right internal compliance process for each check.
Can I verify companies, directors, and bank accounts?
Yes. VerifyNow supports CIPC company and director checks plus South African bank account verification for onboarding, supplier review, KYB, payout checks, payroll, refunds, and fraud prevention.
Does vehicle lookup show owner details?
No. Vehicle lookup is for vehicle specification and registration-context checks such as make, model, year, colour, VIN, and technical details where available. It does not expose private owner names, personal owner details, finance status, accident history, or driver information.
What checks are not standard VerifyNow services?
VerifyNow can support identity, company, bank, AML, document, trace, licence, vehicle, and onboarding workflows. Specialist items such as B-BBEE certificate validation, tax compliance confirmation, criminal record results, qualification verification, and final lending decisions should be separately scoped or verified through the relevant authorised source.
