# Generic Verifications

> An escape hatch for verification types without a dedicated endpoint — currently the Kenya checks.

Most checks have a dedicated endpoint — use those. This generic endpoint is the escape hatch for types that don't, currently the **Kenya** verifications.

<Note>
  **Looking for credit checks?** They have first-class endpoints now — see [Credit](/api-reference/credit-overview). You no longer need this endpoint for them.
</Note>

## Endpoint

```
POST /api/v1/business/verification/{verificationCode}
```

**Signature required:** Yes

## Path parameters

| Parameter          | Type   | Required | Description                                                       |
| ------------------ | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `verificationCode` | string | Yes      | The verification type code, lower-case and hyphenated (see below) |

<Warning>
  The code is the **verification type itself** — e.g. `crb`, `national-id-ke`. Do **not** prefix it with `generic-`: the endpoint uppercases the code and swaps `-` for `_`, so `generic-crc-bvn` resolves to `GENERIC_CRC_BVN`, which is not a real type, and the call fails with `UNSUPPORTED`.
</Warning>

## Request body

| Field            | Type   | Required | Description                                       |
| ---------------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `payload`        | object | Yes      | Key-value pairs specific to the verification type |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | No       | Unique key to prevent duplicate charges           |

## Supported codes

| Code             | Description                   | Required payload fields               |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `crb`            | Kenya Credit Reference Bureau | `firstName`, `lastName`, `nationalId` |
| `national-id-ke` | Kenya National ID             | `number`                              |

## Request example

Kenya National ID:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.usenumero.com/numeroaccount/api/v1/business/verification/national-id-ke" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Numero-Api-Key: your_api_key" \
  -H "X-Numero-Signature: $SIGNATURE" \
  -H "X-Numero-Signature-Version: v2" \
  -d '{
    "payload": {
      "number": "12345678"
    }
  }'
```

Kenya CRB:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.usenumero.com/numeroaccount/api/v1/business/verification/crb" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Numero-Api-Key: your_api_key" \
  -H "X-Numero-Signature: $SIGNATURE" \
  -H "X-Numero-Signature-Version: v2" \
  -d '{
    "payload": {
      "firstName": "Jane",
      "lastName": "Wanjiru",
      "nationalId": "12345678"
    }
  }'
```

## Response

Returns the standard verification response, with `normalizedResult` carrying the identity or credit data. Like every other check it is **synchronous** — the result is in the response.
