TPN gives you access to two different ID
Verification methods:
1. Verify Identity:
This allows you to perform a check against the
Department of Home Affairs using the input fields, retrieve a photo of the
applicant and verify their status, surname, and ID number.
2. Verify Biometrics:
This is the most highly recommended verification of
Identity as it allows you to perform a live "selfie check" on the
applicant, almost always verifying that you are indeed dealing with the correct
person.
In this check a SMS is sent to the applicant to ask
them to confirm their identity, once the applicant clicks the link it will ask
them to capture themselves using their phone / computer camera and the check
will verify against the latest document captured at the Department of Home Affairs.
This can be a smart card or passport.
Once the check is completed by the applicant the
Home Affairs photo as well as the selfie photo will be returned to you.
