# Kenya National ID Biometric

> Verify identities using Kenya National ID Biometric, which matches user selfies against the central population register for biometric verification.

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.
