The Physical Address Verification (Other States) endpoint dispatches a field agent to physically verify a customer’s address anywhere in Nigeria outside Lagos. Returns an identity_check_id to track the request via the Physical Address Confirmation endpoint.
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.
