Getting Started
Set up your VeroID account and make your first verification
This guide will help you set up your VeroID account and make your first identity verification request.
Prerequisites
- An Australian business (ABN required)
- A payment method for early access signup
Step 1: Create Your Account
- Visit dashboard.veroid.com.au
- Sign in with your Google account
- Complete the early access payment ($100 for 100 credits)
- Your account will be activated automatically
Step 2: Generate API Keys
After your account is activated:
- Go to the API Keys section in your dashboard
- Create a sandbox key for testing (prefix:
sk_sandbox_) - Create a live key for production (prefix:
sk_live_)
Warning: Keep your API keys secure! Never expose them in client-side code or public repositories.
Step 3: Make Your First Request
Test with Sandbox
Use your sandbox key to test without using credits:
curl -X POST https://api.veroid.com.au/v1/verify \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: sk_sandbox_your_key" \
-d '{
"documentType": "drivers_licence",
"givenName": "John",
"familyName": "Smith",
"dateOfBirth": "1990-01-15",
"licenceNumber": "12345678",
"stateOfIssue": "NSW"
}'Expected Response
{
"success": true,
"verificationId": "ver_abc123",
"documentType": "drivers_licence",
"status": "success",
"match": true,
"responseCode": "Y",
"message": "Document verified - all details match",
"timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
"environment": "sandbox"
}Step 4: Go Live
When you're ready for production:
- Replace your sandbox key with your live key
- Ensure you have sufficient credit balance
- Each successful verification deducts 1 credit
