Introduction

This section covers the fundamental concepts and setup required to integrate IDnow DocIDV into your application.

Integration Process​

IDnow offers mobile SDKs which can be used to integrate the AutoIdent solution into customer's mobile apps. IDnow also offers readily available native mobile apps via Google Play and Apple App Store which can be used by users to execute the identity verification process.

The picture below explains how you can integrate the IDnow platform with your system.

Before you can send requests, a proper environment has to be set up. An environment holds parameters for setting your company name, API Key, login-token and the gateway host for your requests. The parameters in the API Request URL are placeholders. The applicable values for the placeholders are automatically used in your requests.

The typical integration process involves:

  1. Account Setup: Create your IDnow account and obtain API credentials
  2. Authentication Configuration: Set up API keys and authentication
  3. Customization: Configure UI, branding, and behavior with customer support
  4. Integration: Integrate our services through the integration mode that suits your need (web, mobile sdk...)
  5. Testing: Test the integration in sandbox environment
  6. Go Live: Deploy to production
