OIDC for Identity Assurance Guide

OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance 1.0 (OIDC4IDA or IDA) is a technical specification that OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) as its base and defines a JSON structure that conveys verified claims of a natural person.

This specification defines an extension to OpenID Connect for providing our customers with identity information, i.e., Verified Claims, along with an explicit statement about the verification status of these Claims (what, how, when, according to what rules, using what evidence). This specification is aimed at enabling use cases requiring strong assurance, for example, to comply with regulatory requirements such as Anti-Money Laundering laws or access to health data, risk mitigation, or fraud prevention.

OIDC for Identity Assurance is an optional extension to the following products:

ID Check
ID Proof
ID Assure
ID Scan
Sign Up
Sign Up Plus
Sign In Refresh
Age Assure

The identity assurance fields are available from the User Info APIAPI.

The API reference contains the structure of the verified_claims field, as well as an example response.
