How to verify a BVN, step by step

From your dashboard

1. Open Verify BVN / NIN in your dashboard.
2. Choose BVN and type the 11 digits.
3. Add the person's first name, last name and date of birth if you want us to compare them. The more you add, the stronger the answer.
4. Press Verify. You see the result in a few seconds, including whether the details match.

From your code

curl -X POST https://api.identifyorg.com/v1/verify/bvn \
  -H "X-IdentifyOrg-Key: io_test_xxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"bvn": "22212345678", "first_name": "Adaeze", "last_name": "Okafor"}'

Use a test key first. It returns sample results so you can build your screens. Swap to a live key when you are ready for real answers.

We return the match result and confidence. We do not keep the person's full identity record.
