# Physical Address Verification (Lagos)

> Submit a physical address verification request for customers located in Lagos.

The Physical Address Verification (Lagos) endpoint dispatches a field agent to physically verify a customer's address within Lagos State. Returns a `identity_check_id` to track the request via the [Physical Address Confirmation](/v3/kyc/nigeria/Physical_Address_Verification_Confirmation) endpoint.

<Info>
  Physical address verification is asynchronous. A field agent will visit the address; you will be notified by email and webhook when verification is complete. Use the confirmation endpoint to poll the result.
