Spain Official Census And Utility Services
Spain eKYC non-doc verification leverages Spain's source of truth to validate individuals. It is essential in eKYC processes for ensuring identity authenticity, regulatory compliance, and enhanced security. It helps prevent fraud, boosts user trust, and streamlines operations through automated and efficient verification methods.
Integration
User Input Flow
eKYC module configuration gives various options to specify different search criteria with various sources of truth for each country (eg. US has multiple via Telco, Credit Bureau, and Driver's License). User data can be collected via a user input flow by using pre-selected fields where users can type in their name or date of birth, etc. See an example below:

eKYC user input flow example
Module configuration
The module configuration can be leveraged to select the applicable fields for the input data you would like to collect from the end user.

eKYC module configuration
Direct API Approach
All module configurations and user data can be forwarded directly in the request for performing an eKYC search. This will override existing configuration and data collected about the user.
API AuthenticationAll endpoints require authentication headers to be specified as stated in Incode API Documentation
