V3
|
ID and surname do
not match
|
The ID number specified does not match to
the surname specified.
This could be a result of a spelling
mistake when capturing the data, or from a maiden name change. Please note
that surnames with special characters (hyphens etc.) will always give this
warning, as TransUnion does not allow for special characters in the input
field.

The ID number specified has verified as
belonging to a deceased person. It is highly probable that the ID being used is fraudulent. |

further verification would be required directly with the Department of Home
Affairs.
