Getting the input data

Flow showing how you determine and get the required data

Call FindProcessConfiguration

To perform an identity check you run a process configuration. If you do not know the unique ID or the exact name for the process configuration you want to run, call FindProcessConfiguration. This returns the process configuration ID, name and status (inactive or active).

Save process configuration ID

The process configuration ID does not change, so you can store the ID to use it whenever you call executeProcess to perform an identity check.

Call ListFieldOptionality

If you do not know what data you must supply to run the process configuration, call ListFieldOptionality. This lists the fields you must supply, the fields you can supply and the fields that are not required.

Set response type

Specify how much information you want in the response:

set this to Decision Only to only return the overall authorised or not authorised decision
set this to Summary to return the overall result and the summary information for each check performed
set this to Detail to return the overall result and the detailed information for each check performed.

Get consent

Before you can perform any identity check you must get consent from the person whose identity you are checking.

Get required data

The exact data the user must supply is determined by the process configuration you want to run.

Call QAS Pro

To validate the supplied address details or look up the full address, call the QAS Pro service.

UK addresses do not have a standard format, therefore when performing the identity check, the address may not match because the data is in different fields. Try moving the data to different fields, and running the check again.

Call Bank Wizard

If you will be verifying bank account details, you can validate the account details first to prevent basic errors, such as typing errors. Call Bank Wizard to check that the account details are in the correct format and the account could exist.
