Coming: Passport / Public Services Card verification

A Ireland-specific identity check against the Passport / Public Services Card (Department of Social Protection) is planned. Until it launches, you can verify people in Ireland with document OCR, liveness and face match, which work with any passport, national ID or driver's licence photo.

Phone number format

Ireland mobile numbers are written locally as 085 012 3456 and internationally as +353850123456. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +353, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.

Data protection

Personal data in Ireland is governed by the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
