# Non-Document Lookup
> Verify without a document: the user types their national ID number and a few details, checked against the authoritative source named for that country.
Non-doc lookup is one of the three [ID Verification methods](/core-technology/id-verification/verification-methods). Instead of photographing a document, the user types their national ID number plus a few personal details, and Didit checks them against the authoritative source for that country.
The result carries the assurance tier `data_match`: the details the user gave matched a record that source holds. No document was inspected, so nothing about a document's authenticity is being claimed.
## Which source is queried
Most countries are a government register — the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa, RENAPER in Argentina, UIDAI in India, the CPR register in Denmark. **Some are not.** In Canada, France, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States the authoritative record Didit can reach is a credit-bureau, financial-services, utility or residential-records file rather than a state register.
That distinction is not cosmetic. It changes what the match proves, which consent regime the query runs under, and what you can tell a regulator about provenance, so this page never generalises: the **Source queried** column below names the exact source for every country, and it is the only statement of provenance to rely on. Read it before you enable a country.
The end user never sees the source name. It is on the session payload (`id_lookup.source`), in the console and in exports, for you and your auditors.
## What the user does
1. Picks their country in the ID step.
2. Types the fields that country asks for — always the identifier, usually a name, sometimes a date of birth or an address.
3. Where the source returns a portrait, takes a selfie.
4. Gets a result: verified and moved on, asked to correct the number, retried, sent to document capture, or declined.
The whole step is typing and, for four countries, one selfie. There is no upload, no camera framing and no document at all.
## Sources that return a portrait
Four sources return the person's photograph: **South Africa**, **Nigeria**, **Argentina** and **Panama** — all four government registers. For those countries the user is asked for a selfie, [passive liveness](/core-technology/liveness/overview) runs on it, and it is face-matched to the registry portrait. All three happen inside the lookup and inside the lookup price — there is no separate Liveness or Face Match charge.
Because the lookup already proved a live person matching the register's photograph (all four are government registers), the country's `skip_liveness_and_face_match` switch (on by default) lets the workflow skip its own Liveness and Face Match steps after a match. Turn it off to run them anyway.
Every other source returns data only. There is no portrait to compare against, so no selfie is taken and the switch is normalised off on save. Add [Liveness](/core-technology/liveness/overview) and [Face Match](/core-technology/face-match/overview) as their own workflow steps if a biometric check matters in those countries — Face Match then needs a portrait from somewhere else in the workflow.

Availability comes from the capability catalog the backend serves; the API rejects a workflow that enables a lookup the catalog does not mark `Available` for that country. Prices marked **On request** are not published yet — non-document methods are priced per country and quoted by your account team.
## Format rules
Identifier fields carry a client-side format check before anything is sent — a length, a digit-only rule, a checksum or a pattern, depending on the country. A number that fails it never reaches the source, which means it is **never billed and never counted against `max_attempts`**: the user is shown a country-specific message and asked to correct it.
The per-country tables below list the rule for each field. A field with no rule is free text — a name, a date the interface collects, or an image capture.
Get the format right in your own pre-fill and you spend nothing on typos.

## Consent
Several sources may only be queried with the person's explicit consent, and the consent regime differs by country — POPIA in South Africa, NDPR in Nigeria, LGPD in Brazil, UK GDPR in the United Kingdom, GLBA permissible purpose in the United States, and so on. The regime that applies to each source is in the coverage table above.
You are the controller for that consent. Collect it in your own flow, or add a [questionnaire](/core-technology/questionnaires/overview) step before the ID step, and keep the record — Didit runs the query you asked for and does not judge whether you had the right to ask for it. Where a country's source requires consent wording of its own, the verification UI shows it before the lookup runs.
## Attempts, outcomes and billing
Each answered lookup counts as one attempt. `max_attempts` is 1 to 5, default 1.
| Outcome | Counts as an attempt | Billed | What happens next |
| ----------------- | -------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `match` | Yes | Yes | The register's record becomes the ID Verification result and the workflow moves on. |
| `partial_match` | Yes | Yes | Retry while attempts remain, then `on_partial_match`. |
| `no_match` | Yes | Yes | Retry while attempts remain, then `on_no_match`. |
| `provider_error` | No | No | Retry, then `on_provider_error`. |
| `format_rejected` | No | No | The user is asked to correct the field. It never reached the register. |
A source that answered is billed whatever it answered — the query ran and the answer is the product. A source that never answered costs nothing. When the user falls back to document capture, that capture bills on top, because two checks ran.
## What lands on the session
A lookup that matched populates the ID Verification result the same way a document read would — name, date of birth and the national identifier — and adds an `id_lookup` evidence block:
```json theme={null}
{
"node_id": "feature_ocr_1",
"status": "Approved",
"verification_method": "id_lookup",
"assurance": "data_match",
"wallet_provider": null,
"fallback_from": null,
"id_lookup": {
"source": "Department of Home Affairs",
"checked_at": "2026-09-04T09:12:44Z",
"attempts": 1,
"max_attempts": 2,
"outcome": "match",
"comparison": [
{ "field": "identification_number", "label": "ID number", "provided": "9106155043088", "record": "9106155043088", "result": "match" },
{ "field": "full_name", "label": "Full name", "provided": "Thabo Mokoena", "record": "Thabo Mokoena", "result": "match" },
{ "field": "date_of_birth", "label": "Date of birth", "provided": "1991-06-15", "record": "1991-06-15", "result": "match" }
],
"registry_portrait": "https:///registry_portrait.jpg",
"face_match_score": 96.4
},
"wallet_verification": null
}
```
`comparison` carries one row per comparable field, with `result` of `match`, `partial` or `no_match`, so a reviewer can see exactly which field disagreed. The row names are normalised — `identification_number`, `full_name`, `date_of_birth`, `address` — not the country's request field keys, because a first name and a last name are compared as one name and every identifier alias is compared as one number.
When a source does not answer, the array also carries an error row instead of a field verdict:
```json theme={null}
{ "field": "provider", "label": "Provider", "provided": null, "record": "Upstream timeout", "result": "error" }
```
Check `result` before treating a row as a field comparison: `error` is evidence about the query, never a mismatch by the user. `registry_portrait` and `face_match_score` are present only for the four sources that return a portrait.
Full field types are in the [ID verification data model](/reference/data-models#id-verification).
## Retention
The source record that produced a match is stored as the ID Verification result and follows your organization's [data retention](/console/data-retention) settings, exactly like a document read. Deleting a session deletes it; see [Delete session](/sessions-api/delete-session).
Per-field retention is not available yet. `id_lookup.response_fields` accepts and validates a subset of a source's response fields, but nothing in the lookup pipeline reads it, so **every field the source returns is stored** regardless of what you select. If a particular field must never be stored, do not enable that country until this page says the selection is enforced. The field list per country is in [Per-country fields](#per-country-fields) above.
