# Government Verification

Incode verifies user-provided identity data against official government registries to confirm that IDs are legitimate, valid, and belong to the person presenting them. Registries are maintained by government agencies in each supported country; supported documents, verifiable data, and available verification tiers vary by country. Government verification runs as part of an onboarding session after data capture and biometric checks are complete.

## Country coverage

Each country page documents the registry Incode connects to, the verification tiers available (for example, Data, Face, or Data and Face), the supported document types, and the fields that can be verified. Where applicable, pages also note credential requirements for accessing the registry.
