Making ID validation simple for South African developers
We built Verify ID Number because we believe ID validation should be fast, private, and accessible to every developer in South Africa.
Our mission
South African businesses need to verify ID numbers every day—from onboarding new customers to processing applications. But existing solutions are often expensive, complicated, or don't respect user privacy.
We created Verify ID Number to solve this problem. Our API validates South African ID numbers instantly, with zero data storage and full POPIA compliance. No personal information is ever logged or retained.
Why we built this
As developers ourselves, we were frustrated with the ID validation options available in South Africa. Many services were outdated, slow, or required lengthy contracts. We wanted something that just worked—a simple REST API that developers could integrate in minutes.
So we built it. Verify ID Number is designed to be the easiest way to validate South African ID numbers. Sign up, get an API key, and start validating. It's that simple.
