Query Param	Type	Description
first_name	string	[required] The first name of the person whose identity needs to be verified.

If multiple given names are listed on the document, you must provide only one of them.
last_name	string	[required] The last name of the person whose identity needs to be verified. Note: The last name provided must match exactly as it appears on the ID document, as a consistency check will be performed. If both a birth name and a usage name are listed on the document, you must provide one of them, but not both.
redirection_url	string	[required] The URL to redirect the person back to your application or website after the identity verification flow is complete.
face_recognition	boolean	[optional] Enhances verification by incorporating a facial scan to confirm that the user’s face matches the photograph on their ID document. This parameter is disabled by default.

In the response, you'll find these important following values:

id: This value is required to retrieve the verification results.
