Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how UniFace Verify works.
What is a UnifaceID?
A unique code issued after you complete a camera liveness verification and pay for an access period. Anyone can use it to check that a verified person holds it.
Is a UnifaceID a government ID or KYC document?
No. It confirms a live human completed UniFace Verify. It is not a passport, national ID or financial KYC check.
What does a public lookup show?
Verification status, verification date and the verified name. Email, phone, country and gender require a paid unlock or an API key.
What data do you store?
Account and contact details, verification results, payment references and a face embedding used for duplicate detection. See Security & Privacy.
How do I pay?
By M-Pesa STK push using a Kenyan phone number. See Pricing.
Can I integrate it into my app?
Yes. Use the REST endpoints described in the API documentation.
Can I try the liveness check first?
Yes, the liveness test works without an account. It does not issue a UnifaceID.
