Identity Verification

stringstring

A unique ID that identifies the end user in your system. This ID can also be used to associate user-specific data from other Plaid products. Financial Account Matching requires this field and the /link/token/create client_user_id to be consistent. Personally identifiable information, such as an email address or phone number, should not be used in the client_user_id.

is_shareable

requiredbooleanrequired, boolean

A flag specifying whether you would like Plaid to expose a shareable URL for the verification being created.

template_id

requiredstringrequired, string

ID of the associated Identity Verification template.

gave_consent

requiredbooleanrequired, boolean

A flag specifying whether the end user has already agreed to a privacy policy specifying that their data will be shared with Plaid for verification purposes.
If gave_consent is set to true, the accept_tos step will be marked as skipped and the end user's session will start at the next step requirement.

Default: false

user

objectobject

User information collected outside of Link, most likely via your own onboarding process.
Each of the following identity fields are optional:
email_address
phone_number
date_of_birth
name
address
id_number
Specifically, these fields are optional in that they can either be fully provided (satisfying every required field in their subschema) or omitted from the request entirely by not providing the key or value. Providing these fields via the API will result in Link skipping the data collection process for the associated user. All verification steps enabled in the associated Identity Verification Template will still be run. Verification steps will either be run immediately, or once the user completes the accept_tos step, depending on the value provided to the gave_consent field. If you are not using the shareable URL feature, you can optionally provide these fields via /link/token/create instead; both /identity_verification/create and /link/token/create are valid ways to provide this information. Note that if you provide a non-null user data object via /identity_verification/create, any user data fields entered via /link/token/create for the same client_user_id will be ignored when prefilling Link.

The status of this Identity Verification attempt.
active - The Identity Verification attempt is incomplete. The user may have completed part of the session, but has neither failed or passed.
success - The Identity Verification attempt has completed, passing all steps defined to the associated Identity Verification template
failed - The user failed one or more steps in the session and was told to contact support.
expired - The Identity Verification attempt was active for a long period of time without being completed and was automatically marked as expired. Note that sessions currently do not expire. Automatic expiration is expected to be enabled in the future.
canceled - The Identity Verification attempt was canceled, either via the dashboard by a user, or via API. The user may have completed part of the session, but has neither failed or passed.
pending_review - The Identity Verification attempt template was configured to perform a screening that had one or more hits needing review.

An array of documents submitted to the documentary_verification step. Each entry represents one user submission, where each submission will contain both a front and back image, or just a front image, depending on the document type.
Note: Plaid will automatically let a user submit a new set of document images up to three times if we detect that a previous attempt might have failed due to user error. For example, if the first set of document images are blurry or obscured by glare, the user will be asked to capture their documents again, resulting in at least two separate entries within documents. If the overall documentary_verification is failed, the user has exhausted their retry attempts.

stringstring

An outcome status for this specific document submission. Distinct from the overall documentary_verification.status that summarizes the verification outcome from one or more documents.

Possible values: success, failed, manually_approved

For example, most identity documents have formatting rules like the following:
The image of the person's face must have a certain contrast in order to highlight skin tone
The subject in the document's image must remove eye glasses and pose in a certain way
The informational fields (name, date of birth, ID number, etc.) must be colored and aligned according to specific rules
Security features like watermarks and background patterns must be present

Possible values: match, partial_match, no_match, no_data

stringstring

A high level description of the quality of the image the user submitted.
For example, an image that is blurry, distorted by glare from a nearby light source, or improperly framed might be marked as low or medium quality. Poor quality images are more likely to fail OCR and/or template conformity checks.
Note: By default, Plaid will let a user recapture document images twice before failing the entire session if we attribute the failure to low image quality.

strategy

requiredstringrequired, string

An instruction specifying what steps the new Identity Verification attempt should require the user to complete:
reset - Restart the user at the beginning of the session, regardless of whether they successfully completed part of their previous session.
incomplete - Start the new session at the step that the user failed in the previous session, skipping steps that have already been successfully completed.
infer - If the most recent Identity Verification attempt associated with the given client_user_id has a status of failed or expired, retry using the incomplete strategy. Otherwise, use the reset strategy.
custom - Start the new session with a custom configuration, specified by the value of the steps field
Note:
The incomplete strategy cannot be applied if the session's failing step is screening or risk_check.
The infer strategy cannot be applied if the session's status is still active
