ID Number Regular Expression (Regex)

To limit the probability of your user mistyping the id number, we advice that you enforce the format of the id number field in your app. You can use the regexes below:

• /^[0-9]{11}$/ - for the numeric national ID number (NNI) format

• /^[A-Za-z]\d{10}$/ - for the alphanumeric document number format

Supported Products

The Kenya national id can be used on any of the following products:

• Basic KYC

• Enhanced KYC

For the supported integration options, you can check the integration options supported by each product here.

For Enhanced KYC, the FullData field is deprecated and will now be returned as an empty object "FullData": {}. Instead, use the top-level keys directly.
