Operational controls

Designed for predictable verification requests

The API route is structured around scoped access, consistent request handling and traceable verification responses

Scoped credentialsAccess is limited to services enabled for a client
Controlled data fieldsOnly information required by configured check is accepted
Structured responsesSupported checks return consistent status and result fields
Error handlingInvalid, incomplete or unavailable requests return defined outcomes
Status notificationsWebhook or status handling can be configured where enabled
Escalation routeHuman review supports exceptions or non-automated checks

API responses support a client’s workflow and decision-making. A client remains responsible for lawful collection, appropriate use, access controls and any final decision made from a result.
