Status and result values

The IDnow API uses two top-level fields to describe an identification's state:

status — where the identification is in its lifecycle (Created → Started → Pending → Review → Finished, plus terminal states Cancelled, Aborted, Archived).
result — the outcome of the identification once it reaches Finished.

Status values

Status	Description
`Created`	Identification request created; waiting for the user to start
`Started`	User has started the identification process in the app
`Pending`	User has completed the in-app flow; awaiting review
`Review`	Identification data is currently being reviewed
`Finished`	Review complete; a final result is available
`Cancelled`	Cancelled by an IDnow agent (e.g., inconclusive data)
`Aborted`	User quit the identification process before completing
`Archived`	Identification stored in archive

note

Cancelled and Aborted identifications can be retried using the same IdentID.

Result values are set on Finished identifications. Interim values may appear while a review is in progress.

Result	Final?	Description
`SUCCESS`	Yes	Identity verified successfully
`SUCCESS_DATA_CHANGED`	Yes	Identity verified; some fields were corrected by the reviewing agent
`FRAUD_SUSPICION_CONFIRMED`	Yes	Identity verification rejected due to confirmed fraud suspicion
`CANCELED`	Yes	Cancelled by an agent — e.g., poor image quality, expired document, or unreadable data
`CHECK_PENDING`	No	Automated checks were inconclusive; identification is awaiting manual agent review
`FRAUD_SUSPICION_PENDING`	No	Fraud indicators detected; identification is awaiting senior agent review before final decision

caution

Never treat CHECK_PENDING or FRAUD_SUSPICION_PENDING as a final outcome. Always wait for a Finished result before acting.
