VeroID

Introduction

VeroID - Australian identity verification API

VeroID provides simple Australian identity verification. Verify identity documents including driver's licences, passports, Medicare cards, visas, birth certificates, citizenship certificates, ImmiCards, marriage certificates, change of name certificates, death certificates, Centrelink concession cards, and ASIC/MSIC cards against records held by the document issuer or official record holder.

Why VeroID?

  • Identity document verification - Australian identity documents via the verify endpoint
  • Screening API - sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks
  • Simple REST API - JSON for verify and screening endpoints
  • Test environment - real test verification hub verifications with confirmed IVS records
  • AWS Sydney - all data stays in Australia for compliance

Quick Start

Start with the test verification hub on test-api.veroid.com.au using a sk_test_* key. Production access on api.veroid.com.au is granted once VeroID approves your account for live production verification.
