Introduction

The Onfido API is used to submit check requests. The API is built using RESTful endpoints and standard HTTP verbs.

Response codes are used to indicate the status of the message and any error codes.
JSON is returned on all our API responses, including errors, with a consistent structure for all messages.
Authentication to the API is performed via token-based auth.
Requests to our API should be made as JSON, except when uploading documents.
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail.

Getting Started

Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get started using the Onfido API.

Find your sandbox token

We are going to run an initial check in the sandbox environment. You can find your sandbox token under the Settings > API section of your Onfido Dashboard. Make sure that it is a sandbox token by checking that the token name starts with the prefix test_ and that it is of type Test, and not Live. If you have not been issued with one, please contact sales.

Create an applicant

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants \
  -H 'Authorization: Token token=your_api_token' \
  -d 'title=Mr' \
  -d 'first_name=John' \
  -d 'last_name=Smith' \
  -d 'gender=male' \
  -d 'dob=1980-01-22' \
  -d 'country=GBR' \
  -d 'addresses[][building_number]=100' \
  -d 'addresses[][street]=Main Street' \
  -d 'addresses[][town]=London' \
  -d 'addresses[][postcode]=SW4 6EH' \
  -d 'addresses[][country]=GBR'

{
  "id": "1030303-123123-123123",
  "created_at": "2014-05-23T13:50:33Z",
  "sandbox": true,
  "href": "/v2/applicants/1030303-123123-123123",
  "title": "Mr"
  ...
}

Copy the curl command on the right, replace your_api_token with your given sandbox token, and run it in your console to create an applicant.

You should see the created applicant object in the response.

Note down the id attribute of the applicant, you will need it in the next step.

Create an identity check

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants/applicant_id/checks \
  -H 'Authorization: Token token=your_api_token' \
  -d 'type=express' \
  -d 'reports[][name]=identity'

{
  "id": "8546921-123123-123123",
  "created_at": "2014-05-23T13:50:33Z",
  "sandbox": true,
  "href": "/v2/applicants/1030303-123123-123123/checks/8546921-123123-123123",
  "type": "express",
  "status": "complete",
  "result": "clear",
  "results_uri": "https://onfido.com/dashboard/information_requests/1234",
  "redirect_uri": null,
  "reports": [
    {
      "id": "6951786-123123-422221",
      "name": "identity",
      "created_at": "2014-05-23T13:50:33Z",
      "status": "complete",
      "result": "clear",
      "href": "/v2/checks/8546921-123123-123123/reports/6951786-123123-422221"
      ...
    }
  ]
}

Having created an applicant, you are now ready to run a check containing an identity report against this applicant.

Copy the curl command on the right, replace applicant_id with the id from the previous step (as well as your_api_token), and run it in your console to create and start a check for the applicant.

You should see the created check object in the response. In this case, the check has completed and the result is a clear, i.e., the applicant’s identity has been verified. (Note that this is only a check result based on a simulated run, as checks are not actually run against real-life databases in the sandbox environment.)

Congratulations! you have run your first Onfido check.

Next steps

Now that you have run your first check, you can learn more about the rest of the API.

Learn about Express vs Standard Checks

Onfido offers two check types. Learn about the difference between the two and pick the right one for your system/workflow.

Set up a webhook

Sometimes, reports take time to process, and their results do not return instantly. In this case, the check will return with an in_progress status, and you can be notified of status changes, e.g. when a report has completed, by configuring a webhook.

Create check with multiple reports

Often you would want to run multiple reports against an applicant at the same time, e.g. an identity report alongside a watchlist report. You can do this easily by providing multiple report names or specifying a report type group when you create a check.

Create further checks for the same applicant

After the first check, you are allowed to create further checks for the same applicant, as long as the previous check is not still ongoing (i.e. check has been completed, withdrawn or cancelled).

Learn about document upload

Some reports, such as document report require documents to be uploaded.

Learn about Conditional Checks

You may want to only run certain reports based on certain conditions. You can do so without having to implement your own logic. Check out the Conditional Checks feature.

Going live

When you have finished testing your integration, you are ready to go live!

Add billing information

Live checks cannot be requested without valid billing information, so please add billing information to your account via the Onfido Dashboard.

Request live token

Please contact sales to request a live token, and update your production system to use the live token.

Update webhook endpoints

Optionally, if you intend to use a different set of webhook endpoints to handle live check/report status update events, don’t forget to update them!

Congratulations! You are now ready to start you first live check!

Check Types

The Onfido API offers two different check types: standard and express. A standard check requires an applicant to enter their information via our applicant form. An express check bypasses this step and requires all of the applicant’s information to be provided up-front by the client application.

You have to specify the check type when you create a check.

Typically, after check creation, an express check will start processing straightaway, and a standard check will only start processing when the applicant has submitted the applicant form.

Which type do I need?

Deciding which type of check to perform essentially depends upon whether your system already has the applicant’s necessary information to perform the check or whether you need their input to be collected by us.

Depending on the type of check you wish to perform, different information will be required when you are creating an applicant. This is detailed under the create applicant endpoint.

Some types of reports are only available within standard checks, due to the comprehensive data required from an applicant. Report availability is indicated in the Report Types section.

Client Libraries

We’re working on client libraries to make integrating with our API even easier!

If you write your own library and would like us to link to it, just let us know.

Ruby

An open-source library, developed by the team at Hassle, is available for Ruby.

Either add it to your gem file:

gem 'onfido'

Or install it yourself:

gem install onfido

Click the ruby tab in the upper right to see code examples, or see the source on GitHub.

Python

The Onfido Python library is available on GitHub.

Note: the previous version of the client library is no longer being supported.

PHP

The Onfido PHP library is available on GitHub.

Note: the previous version of the client library is no longer being supported.

Backwards Compatibility

The following changes are considered backwards compatible:

Adding new API endpoints
Adding new properties to the responses from existing API endpoints
Adding optional request parameters to existing API endpoints
Altering the format or length of IDs
Altering the message attributes returned by validation failures or other errors
Sending webhooks for new event types
Reordering properties returned from existing API endpoints

Authentication

# With curl, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl -H "Authorization: Token token=your_api_token"
https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants

require 'onfido'

Onfido.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = 'TOKEN'
end

from onfido import Api
api = Api("TOKEN")

\Onfido\Config::init()->set_token("TOKEN");

The API uses token-based authentication. You will be provided with a token which must be included in the header of all requests made to the API.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Any requests made over HTTP will fail.

You will be provided with both live and sandbox tokens. Requests made with the sandbox token can be used to trial and test our API before going live. Requests made in sandbox-mode will return dummy responses and no credit will be deducted from your account.

Errors

Standard HTTP error codes are returned in the case of a failure. 2xx codes indicate a successful message; 4xx codes indicate an error caused by information provided by the client; and 5xx codes indicate an error on Onfido’s servers.

Error codes

The following error codes are used:

Error Code	Name	Meaning
400	Bad Request	Malformed request
401	Unauthorized	Invalid authorization credentials
422	Unprocessable Entity	Validation error
404	Not Found	Resource not found
50x	Internal Server Error	An unexpected error occurred in our API

Pagination

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants?page=2&per_page=50
  -H "Authorization: Token token=your_api_token"

api.applicant.all(page: 2, per_page: 10)

top10_applicants = api.Applicants.all(1, 10):

\Onfido\Config::init()->set_token('TOKEN')->paginate(2, 5);
$applicants = (new \Onfido\Applicant())->get();

Requests that return multiple items, e.g. GET v1/applicants, will be paginated to 20 items by default. You can specify further pages using the ?page parameter and specify page size using the ?per_page parameter.

Please note that paging is 1-based and that omitting the ?page parameter will return the first page

Link:   <https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants?page=1&per_page=50>; rel="first",
        <https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants?page=4&per_page=50>; rel="last",
        <https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants?page=3&per_page=50>; rel="next"

X-Total-Count: 178

Pagination info is included in the link header. It is recommended that you follow these rather than constructing your own URLs. The possible rel values are next, last, first and prev.

The total count of the resource is included in a custom header X-Total-Count.

Expanding

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants/1030303-123123-123123/checks?expand=reports
  -H "Authorization: Token token=your_api_token"

Many objects contain the id of another object in their response properties. Those objects can be expanded inline with the expand request parameter. Objects that can be expanded are noted in this documentation.

Operations that create child objects, e.g. creating a check will return an expanded resource representation by default.

Testing

Onfido offers a sandbox environment for simulating API requests to help you test your integration. To use the sandbox environment, you would need a sandbox API token when making calls to the API endpoints. Sandbox token starts with the test_ prefix, while live token starts with the live_ prefix. Therefore, please make sure you are using the right token, if you want to make sandbox rather than live requests.

Why use a sandbox environment?

You are allowed to make all the same API requests in the sandbox environment as you are in the live environment. You will also be notified of check/report statuses changes via your registered webhooks. The key differences are, for sandbox requests:

Checks are not actually run against real-life databases - as some checks leave fingerprint, it is not advisable to make live checks during testing.
Check results are pre-determined (but contain the same result response structures as live requests)
Checks do not incur any charges
Sandbox applicants are isolated from the non-sandbox environment. However, note that applicant notification emails still get sent out to sandbox applicants.

The main reasons for using the sandbox environment are therefore to:

Verify your system have network connectivity with the Onfido API
Verify you are posting all the required data in the right format to the Onfido API
Verify you are handling the Onfido API responses correctly
Verify your webhook is working

As check results are pre-determined, the sandbox environment is NOT for:

Testing check quality
Testing check response time

Rate limiting

For sandbox requests, there is currently a rate limit of 30 requests per minute. When you hit the limit, you will see an HTTP 429 too many requests error. You will be prevented from making further sandbox requests within the one-minute time period.

Sandbox responses

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v2/applicants \
  -H 'Authorization: Token token=your_api_token' \
  -d 'title=Mr' \

      ...
    }
  ]
}

To help you test your integration, we currently provide a number of test data for triggering specific pre-determined responses.

Report	Variant	Applicant last name*	Report result
Identity	`standard`	unidentified	unidentified
Identity	`kyc`	consider	consider
Document	n/a	consider	consider
Watchlist	`full`	consider	consider
Credit**	n/a	consider	consider
SSN Trace	n/a	consider	consider
National Criminal	n/a	consider	consider

*For all the reports listed above, “clear” will be returned if any other applicant last name value is specified.

**Credit report must be requested along with an identity report for the test data to work.

Note that all the usual applicant attribute requirements apply, when you create a check inside the sandbox, even if they are just dummy values. As an example, title, first_name, last_name, gender, dob, addresses, country must all be specified to trigger an identity report sandbox response.

    }
  ]
}

Testing multiple-report scenarios

Apart from test data, we also provide a second mechanism to help with the testing of multiple-report scenarios. When creating a check with multiple reports, you can include an additional parameter consider to control exactly which reports should return “consider” (and which shouldn’t). This will allow you to test any scenarios that you want.

Checks are initiated using this endpoint.

Certain reports are generated instantly and their results are returned in the response, while other reports take longer to be processed. You will need to set up a webhook to listen for the results of non-instant reports.

Having created the first check, you are allowed to create further checks for the same applicant, as long as the previous check is not still ongoing (i.e. check has been completed, withdrawn or cancelled). You will receive an error message if you try to create a check for an applicant with an ongoing check. Applicant details can be updated between check creations.

This endpoint is for resuming paused checks. A check is paused if all the reports that it contains are in the paused state.

When a standard check gets resumed, all its reports are going to start processing immediately if the applicant has already submitted the form. The check status will automatically change to in_progress.

Report object

{
  "id": "6951786-123123-316712",
  "name": "identity",
  "created_at": "2014-05-23T13:50:33Z",

  "breakdown": {},
  "properties": {}
}

The report object contains the state and relevant details of the particular report. The structure of the object is listed below.

The breakdown hash contains the details of the particular report and differs for each report type. The format of the breakdown and properties for each report type is listed below.

Attribute	Description
id	string The unique identifier for the report
created_at	timestamp The date and time at which the report was first initiated
name	string Report type string identifier. See Report Types
href	string The API endpoint to retrieve the report
status	string The current state of the report in the checking process
result	string The result of the report
sub_result	string The sub_result of the report. It gives a more detailed result for `document` reports only, and will be null otherwise
variant	string Report variant string identifier. Some reports e.g. `criminal_history` have sub-types, which are identified by this field. These are detailed in Report Types
options	string Report options. Some reports e.g. `criminal_history` expose additional options. These are detailed in Report Types
breakdown	hash The details of the report. This is specific to each type of report
properties	hash The properties associated with the report, if any

Report status

Status	Description
awaiting_data	Onfido has made a request to one of its data providers and we are waiting on their reply.
awaiting_approval	Report is going through manual review.
complete	Report is done.
withdrawn	Report has been cancelled.
paused	Report is paused until you, i.e. the client, switch it on manually. Special case used by clients who wants to collect data and run the reports when they want and not immediately.
cancelled	Special status for conditional checks: When you, i.e. the client, request two reports and one of them is conditional on the other, then the status will be complete if the condition is met or cancelled if not.

Results

The result field indicates the overall result of a report. The possible values of this field are detailed below:

Report result
clear	If all underlying verifications pass, the overall result will be `clear`
consider	If the report has returned information that needs to be evaluated, the overall result will be `consider`.
unidentified	Identity report (`standard` variant) only - this is returned if the applicant fails an identity check. This indicates there is no identity match for this applicant on any of the databases searched.

For convenience, the check object also has a result field. Its value is derived from the results of the individual reports that it contains:

Check result
clear	If all the reports contained in the check have `clear` as their results.
consider	If some of the reports contained in the check have either `consider` or `unidentified` as their results.

Sub Results

The sub_result field indicates a more detailed result for document reports

Report sub_result
clear	If all underlying verifications pass, the overall sub result will be `clear`
rejected	If the report has returned information where the check cannot be processed further (poor quality image or an unsupported document).
suspected	If the document that is analysed is suspected to be fraudulent.
caution	If any other underlying verifications fail but they don’t necessarily point to a fraudulent document (such as the name provided by the applicant doesn’t match the one on the document)

Report Type Groups

Report type groups provide a convenient way to group and organize different types of reports, so that you can easily request different sets of reports for different buckets of applicants. For example, you may want to only run an identity report, a right_to_work report and a criminal_history report on a junior-level role, but you may want additional reports on a more senior-level role.

To set up or update your report type groups, please contact client-support@onfido.com.

Webhooks

Onfido provides webhooks to alert you of changes in the status of your resources (i.e., checks and reports). These are POST requests to your server that are sent as soon as an event occurs. The body of the request contains details of the event.

All check/report status changes trigger webhook notifications, even for those that complete instantly.

Sandbox checks and reports also trigger webhook notifications. Your can create and configure webhooks to receive status changes from sandbox, live or both environments.

Webhook endpoints can be registered through the Onfido dashboard or API. To help you diagnose or to understand webhook issues, a log of your wehbook requests is also available under your dashboard’s Webhook Logs.

Upon receiving a webhook notification, you should acknowledge success by responding with an HTTP 20x response. Otherwise, we will attempt to resend the notification up to 10 times over the next 72 hours in increasing time intervals, based on an exponential backoff algorithm.

Quick tip: for initial testing, you can create a temporary endpoint URL using a service such as http://requestb.in/ to quickly inspect webhook requests.

IP addresses

All webhook requests will be coming from the following IPs:

52.51.171.25

52.51.228.228

52.51.234.203

Please make sure that you’ve whitelisted these IPs in order to receive webhook notifications.

Events

The following events will trigger a message to registered webhooks:

Resource	Events
report	report.completed
report	report.withdrawn
check	check.started
check	check.completed
check	check.form_opened
check	check.form_completed

Event object

{
  "payload": {
    "resource_type": "report",
    "action": "report.completed",
    "object": {
      "id": "12345-23122-32123",
      "status": "completed",
      "completed_at": "2014-05-23 13:50:33 UTC",
      "href": "https://api.onfido.com/v2/checks/12343-11122-09290/reports/12345-23122-32123"
    }
  }
}

The payload below will be sent to all registered webhooks when an supported event occurs on the Onfido application.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
payload	hash The top level element
resource_type	string Indicates the resource affected by this event
action	string The event that triggered this webhook, e.g. `report.completed`
object	hash The object affected by this event. This will contain an `id` and an `href` to retrieve that resource

Webhook security

X-Signature: f1b9e6cd8eef30c333da48370e646839c9bb9e21b11ea161b4d5cf93a12345df

# Validating the X-Signature in Sinatra
signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha1'), your_token, data_to_sign)
return halt 500, "Signatures did not match!" unless Rack::Utils.secure_compare(signature, request.env['X_SIGNATURE'])

Each webhook URL is associated with a secret token. This is visible in the response.token field when registering a webhook.

Events sent to your application will be signed using this token: verifying the request signature on your server prevents attackers from imitating valid webhooks. The HMAC digest signature, generated using SHA-1, will be stored in a X-Signature header.

When you receive an event, you should compute a hash based on the complete event payload using the secret token, and ensure that the X-Signature sent by Onfido matches that hash.

An identity report validates an applicant’s address, date of birth, name, and mortality (where available) by cross-referencing their details against a range of verified databases.

Report result breakdowns indicate which of these elements was positively matched, and if available in the particular jurisdiction, the underlying source or sources of that database match.

The example to the right details results for an identity report conducted in the United Kingdom.

There are two different variants of identity report: standard and kyc.

Standard

This check should be used for employment/recruitment purposes. It may leave an employment footprint on the individual’s credit record in some countries, such as the UK.

Report result breakdowns indicate which of these elements was positively matched, and if available in the particular jurisdiction, the underlying source or sources of that database match.

KYC

This check should be used for “know your customer” (KYC) purposes, for instance, if you are providing a financial service.

Report result breakdowns indicate which of these elements was positively matched, and if available in the particular jurisdiction, the underlying source or sources of that database match.

Breakdown


address	hash Contains the result and details of an address match
date_of_birth	hash Contains the result and details of a date of birth match
mortality (KYC only)	hash Asserts whether the applicant was found on the mortality register

The document report is composed of data integrity, visual authenticity and police record checks. It checks the internal and external consistency of the most recent identity document provided by the applicant to identify potential discrepancies.

In addition, any data extracted from the document through OCR is returned in the properties attribute.

The document report combines software and an expert team to maximise fraud detection. The majority of documents will be processed instantly. However, when document analysis falls back to expert review, the report status will be delivered asynchronously via webhook notifications.

Expert review is required when we encounter images that use sophisticated counterfeiting techniques, or the image is of poor quality (blurred, low resolution, obscured, cropped, or held at an unreadable angle).

Please note that if you’re migrating from version 1, older reports will return their original breakdowns and properties, not the v2 format.

Breakdown


visual_authenticity	hash Asserts whether visual, non-textual, elements are correct given the type of document
image_integrity	hash Asserts whether the document was of sufficient quality to verify
data_validation	hash Asserts whether algorithmically-validatable elements are correct e.g. MRZ lines and document numbers
data_consistency	hash Asserts whether data represented in multiple places on the document is consistent e.g. between MRZ lines and OCR extracted text on passports
data_comparison	hash Asserts whether data on the document is consistent with data provided by an applicant (either through Onfido’s applicant form or when creating an applicant through the API)
police_record	hash Asserts whether the document has been identified as lost, stolen or otherwise compromised

Sub breakdowns that are part of visual_authenticity may point to a fraudulent document if their result is consider:


fonts	Fonts in the document don’t match the expected ones
security_features	Security features expected on the document are missing or wrong
picture_face_integrity	The pictures of the person identified on the document show signs of tampering or alteration. In most cases this will focus on the primary picture yet it may also apply to the secondary and tertiary pictures when documents contain them
digital_tampering	Indication of digital tampering in the image (for example, name altered)
original_document_present	The document is a genuine document and not, for example, a photo of a photo of a document
template	The document doesn’t match the expected template for the document type and country it is from

  }
}

The facial similarity check will compare the most recent live photo provided by the applicant to the photo in the most recent identity document provided. Depending on your configuration, the process may involve an expert review when the results are inconclusive.

breakdown


face_comparison	hash Asserts whether the face in the document matches the face in the live photo
image_integrity	hash Asserts whether the quality of the images and the content contained within them were sufficient to perform a face comparison

properties

The report will include a score property if the check did not involve a manual review procedure. The score property is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses how similar the two faces are, where 1 is a perfect match. If the report is completed manually or image integrity fails then the score property will not be present.

A watchlist full check goes beyond an alert by providing a granular breakdown of any records found when searching the global watchlists. The watchlists include: Government Sanctions Lists, Politically Exposed Persons Lists, Anti-Terrorism Watchlists, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Watchlists, CIA Watchlists, Global and Disqualified Directors.

Two non-mandatory report options can be specified when you create a check for watchlist full reports. They are as follows:

Options
`peps`
`sanctions`

Specifying peps means only Politically Exposed Persons Lists will be searched. On the other hand, specifying sanctions means only Sanctions Lists and other watchlists will be searched. And if no options are specified, all watchlists will be researched.

This breakdown returned includes, but is not limited to: name of match, associates, date of birth, related keywords, type of list, name of list, and when the entry was last updated. This allows you to quickly assess the relevancy of the match and eliminate false positives.

A criminal history report identifies whether an applicant has a criminal record within the United Kingdom.

There are three different variants of criminal history report: basic, standard, and enhanced. Different roles require different levels of check; if you’re unsure which type you need try using the DBS Eligibility Tool, or our team at client-support@onfido.com can advise you on which choice is right for your company and roles.

A number of report options can be specified when you create a check for standard and enhanced reports. They are as follows:

Variant	Options
`standard`	`volunteer` `working_at_home_address`
`enhanced`	`children_barred_list` `adults_barred_list` `volunteer` `working_at_home_address`

standard and enhanced criminal history reports also require additional details to be specified for us to be able to request data from the record agency. They should be specified when the check is created.

Document requirements

Document requirements for a basic criminal history report are

a proof of id (i.e. valid Passport, valid National ID Card, valid Driving Licence, UK Biometric Residence Permits, UK birth/adoption certificate) AND
a proof of address* (i.e. P45, P60, Job Seekers Letter, Bank Statement, Utility Bill, valid Driving Licence, National Insurance Card Letter, HMRC Letter)

*under certain circumstances, if a check contains an identity report, a proof of address may not be required. Our team at client-support@onfido.com can advise you on the applicability.

An SSN Trace is comprised of a SSN match, a mortality check, a date of birth match and an optional address match.

The report will also return any addresses and phone numbers recorded by credit agencies in the last seven years against the given applicant’s SSN.

Running an SSN trace is a prerequisite of running county criminal checks to aid in the discovery of jurisdictions that should be searched for criminal records.

A national criminal report performs a multi-jurisditional search on a database compiled from multiple sources: court records, incarceration records, probation/parole/release information and other proprietary sources.

If an applicant’s details match, the properties element will contain a breakdown of associated record(s).

Please note that a match for a single characteristic, e.g. full_name, is not sufficient, and the service will only report positive matches where 2 or more properties match (e.g. full_name and date of birth)

There are two different variants of national criminal report: standard and non_employment.

Standard

Adhering to the standards set out in the The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Employment version of the National Criminal Report double checks any records at the county-level to ensure that it is accurate and up to date when reported to employers making hiring decisions.

Please note that while the majority of the reports maintain a fast turnaround time, a small proportion require more in-depth investigation and this could take longer to complete.

Non-Employment

A National Criminal Report performs a multi-jurisdictional search on a database compiled from multiple sources: court records, incarceration records, probation/parole/release information and other proprietary sources.

If an applicant’s details match, the properties element will contain a breakdown of associated record(s).

Please note that a match for a single characteristic, e.g. full_name, is not sufficient, and the service will only report positive matches where 2 or more properties match (e.g. full_name and date of birth).

Overview

Conditional Checks is a feature that, when enabled, allows the processing of reports based on certain conditions configured by Onfido for its clients. These conditions can be the overall result of a report, the result of a specific breakdown for a report, the applicant’s nationality, etc.

Enabling Conditional Checks

To enable this feature on your account, you need to contact api@onfido.com.

Use Cases

Conditional Checks makes the system smarter and adaptive to different workflows. Two examples of workflows:

Identity and Street Level Reports: Only perform SLV if Identity Report fails to confirm the applicant address as shown in the figure below;
Identity, Document and Criminal Reports: Only do the Criminal Report if both Identity and Document Reports pass as it might make no sense to do a Criminal Report on an applicant whose identity is not yet verified.

All these scenarios and flows also can be combined together to perform more complex workflows, without adding any complexity to how you use the API. Needless to say that these are just examples but Conditional Checks can support any business specific workflow.

When you request enabling this feature on your account, please communicate your workflow and conditions for processing the check to api@onfido.com. These conditions will be preconfigured on your account and won’t require any change in the way you create the checks via the API.

Report Status Flow

Any report that’s waiting for condition to be evaluated will be in the status paused. When the condition is evaluated the report will either move to awaiting_data and its processing starts OR to cancelled if the condition to process it is not met.

Limitations

While Conditional Checks allow reports to be processed based on a series of conditions, you still have to specify all the reports and supply all the required information for each report upfront when you create the checks.

Example

If you want a Document report only if the Identity report fails, you still have to request both reports using the Create Check endpoint and you need to satisfy all the requirements needed for the reports by providing the necessary applicant info.

Usage Notes

There are generally 2 ways to create a check via the API:

By passing in all the reports of the check;
Using report type groups.

If you are using the conditional checks feature, you must use report type groups because this way the system will be able to recognize the checks that you have configured with conditions as opposed to any other similar checks in your account that you might want to request without requiring any conditions to be enforced on them.
