The Kenya National ID is the official identification document for citizens and residents, recorded in a central population register. Kenya NID requires the user to input some data about themselves into a form, and then complete a selfie to match their biometrics against the system of record. Customers can bypass the form-fill step by passing in known identity data about the user when launching the integration. To learn more, visit the Kenya National Registration ID website.
