Questions
Identity Verification FAQs
Are full identity numbers shown to every user?
No. Access should be limited by role and purpose, and operational views use masked identifiers where the full value is not required.
Which identity documents are supported?
Supported documents depend on the configured service, location, client scope, and permitted verification method.
