Identity Verification API / Nigeria
System Upgrade v3.1

Unified Identity Verification

Securely verify identities across African borders using our sovereign data rails. Integrate biometric, corporate, and financial records in a single request.

Security Bearer Authentication

API Authentication

LumiID uses Bearer Tokens to secure the African identity rails. Every request to our infrastructure must be signed with a valid API Key to ensure data integrity and sovereign security.

System Upgrade: Key Rotation Required

Due to our system migration, legacy keys will be deprecated. Visit your API Settings to rotate credentials.
