Choose the appropriate method

BVN and NIN are Nigerian identity verification methods. Your application should explain the purpose of the check and request the correct identifier for the selected method. Avoid asking users to enter both when only one is needed.

Prepare provider access

A live identity lookup depends on the configured provider, credentials and permitted use. Keep provider keys on the server. Confirm service readiness before sending real applicant details.

Start verification

Create a session with product bvn or nin and open FaceXui with the returned launch token. The applicant enters their 11-digit number, provides consent and completes the live selfie check. Web, Android and iOS SDK version 0.4.0 supports both methods.
