Introduction

VeroID - Australian identity verification API

VeroID provides simple Australian identity verification. Verify identity documents including driver's licences, passports, Medicare cards, visas, birth certificates, citizenship certificates, ImmiCards, marriage certificates, change of name certificates, death certificates, Centrelink concession cards, and ASIC/MSIC cards against official government records.

Why VeroID?

  • DVS-backed verification - check identity documents against official issuer records
  • Screening API - sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks
  • Simple REST API - JSON for verify and screening endpoints
  • Test environment - real DVS test hub verifications with confirmed IVS records
  • AWS Sydney - all data stays in Australia for compliance

Quick Start

Start with the DVS test hub on test-api.veroid.com.au using a sk_test_* key. Production access on api.veroid.com.au is granted once VeroID approves your account for production DVS.
