Coming: National ID number verification

A Libya-specific identity check against the National ID number (Civil Registry Authority) is planned. Until it launches, you can verify people in Libya with document OCR, liveness and face match, which work with any passport, national ID or driver's licence photo.

Phone number format

Libya mobile numbers are written locally as 091 234 5678 and internationally as +218912345678. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +218, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.
