Configuring Jumio Netverify

Jumio Netverify is a data provider you can use to run these checks:

ID verification (Passfort collects documents)

How it works

This is the default behavior for a variant of the ID verification (Passfort collects documents) check with Jumio Netverify as the data provider.

You upload the individual's document to Passfort. Passfort submits the document to Jumio Netverify who checks for signs of forgery and extracts the customer’s name, date of birth, document number and, where possible, nationality from the document.

You can upload these documents for the Verify identity task:

Driving license
Passport
Visa
State ID
Residence ID
Unknown
You can select Unknown if the document type is not known, Jumio Netverify will perform a check to determine the type of documentation provided.

The document must be no larger than 15 MB and in either JPG or PNG file types.

Jumio Netverify performs image quality checks and the following security checks on documents:

Compromised document
Visual authenticity

Passfort cross-references the details recorded in the individual’s profile (name, date of birth, and, if available, nationality) with the extracted data provided by Jumio Netverify.

An image of the document is displayed in the check results.

The check passes when all three criteria are met:

The document details obtained from Jumio Netverify match the details in the profile.
Jumio Netverify confirms the document is authentic by confirming the status of the check is Clear.
Jumio Netverify confirms that any additional checks have passed.

If the individual's details do not match Jumio Netverify's data, the check fails.

Because cross-referencing the individual’s details is an action performed in Passfort and not in Jumio Netverify, it’s possible for the check to pass in Jumio Netverify but fail in Passfort.

If the individual’s profile doesn’t have data for the required fields, an error is displayed.

This check variant is supported for all countries. To get step-by-step instructions for running this check, see Verify a document.

Configuration options

The following configuration option is available:

API region: Choose the API region you want to use. Contact Jumio Netverify about setting up a direct agreement.

What we’ll need

Let us know that you’d like to add a variant of the ID verification (Passfort collects documents) and your Jumio Netverify API credentials. We’ll set it up for you.

Testing your configuration

Once the check variant is configured, follow these steps in your demo environment to test whether it's working as expected.

To get a PASSED result, check that the ID is authentic and the document details in the demo environment match profile details.

Create an individual profile with these details:

First name: Alex
Surname: Wheeler.
Date of birth: 01 January 2000

Expected result: DOCUMENT_ALL_PASS

To get a FAILED result, use the example where the DOB entered is different from the details in the demo environment.

Create an individual profile with these details:

First name: Ashley
Surname: Williams
Date of birth: 30 June 1980

Expected result: DOCUMENT_DOB_FIELD_DIFFERENT

Profile fields

These are the profile details matched with the document details extracted by Jumio Netverify:

Name	Description
First name(s) (`personal_details.name.given_names`) *Required	The individual’s first and, if applicable, middle names.
Surname (`personal_details.name.family_name`) *Required	The individual’s last name.
Date of birth (`personal_details.dob`) *Required	The individual’s date of birth.
Expiry Optional	The expiry date of the documentation.
Issuing country Optional	The country that issued the documentation.
Number Optional	The documentation's unique number, i.e. a passport number.

ID verification (service collects documents)

How it works

This is the default behavior for a variant of the ID verification (service collects documents) check with Jumio Netverify as the data provider.

The individual submits their documents to Jumio Netverify who checks for signs of forgery and extracts the individual’s name, date of birth, and, where possible, address history from the documents.

Passfort cross-references the extracted data provided by Jumio Netverify with the details recorded in the individual's profile, such as name and, where possible, date of birth and gender. If the check was run with PROOF_OF_ADDRESS as the document category, the address is also cross-referenced.

Passfort displays an image of the documents in the check results.

The check passes when all three criteria are met:

The document details obtained from Jumio Netverify match the details in the profile.
About MRZ validation
Passfort performs MRZ validation as part of the check. On the identity page of your passport, the MRZ is the machine-readable zone that cameras and software can quickly read. It contains two rows of 44 characters each. The characters used are A-Z and 0-9, demarcated with < separators. We extract the following fields from the MRZ:
issuing_country
issuer
nationality
given names
family_name
When the MRZ has names with single separators only, the name components on the MRZ will be compared to the full name, given names and surname combined, on the Passfort profile.
dob
gender
number
expiry
Additionally, we mark the MRZ itself as invalid if any of the checksums fail or none of the fields listed here are found. This validation is enabled by default for the specific providers that return the MRZ details.
Jumio Netverify confirms the documents are authentic.
Jumio Netverify confirms that any additional checks have passed, for example, police checks or selfie checks.

If the individual’s details do not match the data in Jumio Netverify’s sources, the check fails.

Because cross-referencing the individual’s details is an action performed in Passfort and not in Jumio Netverify, it’s possible for the check to pass in Jumio Netverify but fail in Passfort.

If the individual’s profile doesn’t have data for the required fields, an error is displayed.

This check variant is supported for all countries.

For more information about how Jumio Netverify handles this check, see Jumio Netverify’s documentation.

Configuration options

You can choose from the following configuration options:

Check the individual's nationality against the one extracted from the document: When this option is selected, Passfort always cross-references the country of nationality recorded in the individual’s profile against the country of nationality that Jumio Netverify extracted from the document. If the country of nationality does not match, the check fails. If the profile does not have a country of nationality, an error is displayed.
Require full date of birth (year, month and day) to run the check: When this option is selected, the full date of birth must be provided in the profile to run the check. When deselected, a partial date of birth, that is year and month or just year, can be used.

What we'll need

Let us know that you’d like to add a variant of the ID verification (service collects documents) check with Jumio Netverify and which configuration options you'd like to use. We’ll set it up for you.

We’ll also need to know:

Your Jumio Netverify API token and secret: For more information about getting your API token and secret from the Customer Portal, see Jumio Netverify's Implementation Guide.
Your user agent: This is a way to identify that Passfort is making the request. We suggest using "Passfort" as your user agent, but it can be anything you want.
Your data center location: Whether your Jumio Netverify data center is inside or outside the European Union.

Testing your configuration

Once the check variant is configured, follow these steps in your demo environment to test whether it's working as expected.

Does the check pass when the ID is authentic and the extracted document details obtained from Jumio Netverify match the details in the profile?

To run this test, first create an individual profile with an address.

You also can create a profile via the portal. To get the profile ID, used to run the check in the next step, view the profile in the portal and copy the string of letters and numbers displayed after /onboarding/ in the URL.

Next, run the check variant by making the following request to the following endpoint.
