Driving License Verification APIs make this process simple and reliable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Leveraging a driving license verification API enables organizations to safely and efficiently check their customers&#8217; credentials. All that\u2019s required for this process are the customer&#8217;s driving license.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Businesses typically face numerous challenges during<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/melento.ai\/en-in\/blog\/all-about-kyc-verification\"><strong>KYC verification<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>including long turnaround times and excessive verification costs. Banks, NBFCs, and insurers rely on onboarding teams to manually collect customer KYC documents and verify the details present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">This process usually takes weeks to complete and can result in manual errors, lost documents, and ultimately customer drop-offs. DL verification and Vehicle RC verification APIs help simplify and digitize this process.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/melento.ai\/en-in\/talk-to-sales\"><button class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit envor-btn envor-btn-primary envor-btn-normal\" style=\"border-radius: 30px !important; background-color: #00b087; border: #00b087;\" type=\"button\"><strong>Get your API Now! <\/strong><\/button><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>What Are Driving License Verification APIs?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Driving License Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are simple tools with call and retrieve functions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">These APIs can be used to verify customer details or to extract information from images of a DL and then validate certain details pertaining to the DL holder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Typically, the API takes in the Driving License number and Date of Birth (DOB) as the API request and responds with validated data including License number, Address, Name, DOB &amp; more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">DL extraction APIs leverage OCR capabilities to extract Name, DOB, License Number, etc from the front and back of the DL and validate this data using an aggregate match algorithm.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>Challenges In Driving License Verification\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Driving license verification when done manually results in numerous problems that need to be addressed. The familiar issues of inconsistencies and manual errors plague DL verification as they do every paper-based KYC process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Data extraction from driving licenses with various layouts and formats is also a serious issue. Furthermore, KYC documents are delivered to businesses via various channels such as email or WhatsApp, and in various file types such as jpg, jpeg, pdf, or tiff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">To achieve high straight through processing, this data must be extracted in a uniform format and checked against the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This becomes a significant barrier in terms of lowering operational costs and turnaround time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Rule-based solutions fail due to the fact that these documents have distinct templates or formats by country or even by state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Frequently, the images are of low-resolution, slanted, and do not follow established photography practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">Integrating with a driver&#8217;s license verification API standardizes this verification process, allowing businesses to accelerate their onboarding process.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>Top Three Driving License APIs For Instant Onboarding\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/melento.ai\/en-in\/blog\/why-document-verification-is-the-future-of-kyc\">Document verification<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>for Driving License Verification API functions by making a request and producing a response.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">As mentioned previously, Driving License APIs can either verify data, extract data, or both verify and extract data.
