Passport Scan
This document explains how to enable Passport Scan in the verification flow and Passbase API
Increase your assurance during the identity verification process with a required Passport scan directly added to your workflow. Use the Passbase dashboard to add this Additional Check to your verification flow.
Within the customization additional checks page, you can enable the Passport Scan by dragging the Passport Scan tile to the Live Version section. Click the Publish Changes button when complete. Your users will now be prompted to scan the front of their Passport after scanning their Drivers License or National ID Card.

The Passport data for each Verification is accessible using the below Passbase API endpoints. You can find more information about the endpoints in our API explorer, and you can use one of our server-side libraries to interact with the Passbase API.
// List all identities
https://api.passbase.com/verification/v1/identities
// Get identity for a specific id / key
https://api.passbase.com/verification/v1/identities/{id}
