Integration with Trinsic

Uganda NID verification is integrated into Trinsic's identity acceptance network allowing businesses to verify users against the government system of record in Uganda.

• Permission required: Yes, this method requires registration before you can activate it for your users. Please contact Trinsic to begin this process.
• Cost: Contact the Trinsic team.

User Flow

The user provides their National ID number (NIN), card number, and date of birth. The system verifies that the provided information matches the government database records.

Direct Mode Bypass

In direct mode, customers can bypass form-fill steps by passing known identity data about the user when launching the integration.
