Government Check - UAE ICP

Overview

The ICP Check is a verification step in the IDWise Flow Builder that allows businesses to validate whether a user has a valid visa or government-issued ID in the UAE government system (ICP). This check helps ensure regulatory compliance and fraud prevention during digital onboarding.

Use Cases

The ICP Check is particularly useful for organizations that need to:

• Verify residency status for users applying for financial services, government-related services, or employment in the UAE.
• Ensure compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations.
• Prevent identity fraud by confirming an individual's official records within the UAE government system.
• Automate document validation for businesses processing large-scale user verifications.
• 
  

Configuration Guide

In Flow Builder, simply drag and drop the ICP Check block into your flow and configure the following attributes to enable ICP verification.

1. Input Data Source

Users can choose how the ICP Check receives input data:

• UAE ID / Residence Permit: The system automatically extracts the required data from the UAE ID or UAE Residence Permit to perform the ICP Check.
• Manual: The customer passes the required data through the IDWise API to perform the check. If selecting this option, the check must be triggered using a backend-to-backend API call. the required information needed to perform this check are the the following:
  • Personal Number: The Emirates ID number assigned to the resident.
  • Birth Date: The date of birth of the individual as recorded in the ICP system.
  • Nationality Code: The 3 letter iso code for the nationality of the individual.

2. Trigger Type

Customers can define when the ICP Check should be applied:

1. On Journey Pass – Only execute if the full ID verification flow is successful, meaning:
   • The document is authentic
   • The face on the ID matches the selfie
   • The selfie is live
2. Always – Perform the check always regardless of whether the onboarding flow passes or fails.
