# Driver's License Verification

> Use driver's license verification when a license is part of your accepted identity set

Driver’s license verification is useful when you accept a Nigerian driver’s license as a supporting or primary document for onboarding.

## Best For

* Document-based KYC
* Multi-document onboarding journeys
* Secondary verification after BVN or NIN

## What You Submit

You submit the license number.

## What You Get Back

The response can include:

* Names
* Gender
* Birth date
* Photo
* License number
* Issue date
* Expiry date

## How To Use It

* Confirm the document exists and is tied to the expected customer
* Check the issue and expiry dates before approval
* Compare the returned photo and names to other identity records

<Tip>
  Document verification is strongest when combined with a primary identity anchor such as BVN or NIN.
