Capabilities
What AttestID KYC does
Document capture & OCR
National IDs, passports, and driver's licences for South Africa and Lesotho — fields extracted and validated against the document.
Selfie match & liveness
Matches the customer's selfie to the document photo and checks liveness, catching printed photos and screen replays.
Cross-company fraud screening
Every submission is screened against prior verifications across the platform for identity reuse — not just within your own users.
Decision in seconds via API
A pass, fail, or needs-review result returns over a REST API with a JavaScript / React SDK, evidence retained for audit.
Sandbox to live
Sign up, get sandbox keys, build the integration, then move to live keys once it's reviewed.
Built for the region
Purpose-built for Southern African documents and fraud patterns, not a global product with a regional setting.

FAQ
Common questions
Which countries and documents are supported?+
South Africa and Lesotho today — national ID documents, passports, and driver's licences issued in the region.
How is this different from a global KYC provider?+
It's purpose-built for Southern African documents and fraud patterns, including cross-company fraud detection that catches identity reuse across different businesses on the platform, not only within your own users.
How fast is a verification?+
A pass, fail, or needs-review decision returns via API in seconds, with the underlying evidence retained for audit.
Is there a dashboard?+
Yes. AttestID has its own dashboard at attestid.brimsage.co.ls for keys, verification history, billing, and fraud review.
How is it priced?+
Per verification, in Maloti, on a plan sized to your monthly volume. Government deployments use a flat monthly fee. See the pricing page.
