What had to be solved
A scholarship programme has to confirm that each applicant is who they say they are before public funds are awarded.
Scope of the engagement
NIN verification through Verifio
API services supporting scholarship applications
Checks made through a licensed verification partner
How we approached it
Verification was built into the application process through APIs, so applicants were checked as they applied rather than in a separate exercise.
- Integration
- Verifio exposed to the application process through its APIs.
- Licensed access
- NIN checks made through a licensed partner.
Solution architecture
An applicant's NIN is checked through Verifio, which calls a licensed verification partner and returns the result to the application process.
- Application process
- Collects the applicant's NIN with their application.
- Verifio
- Byteflow's verification platform. Handles each verification request and returns the result.
- Licensed partner
