January 2026
We kicked off the year with a set of practical updates designed to give you more control, streamline user journeys, and make daily operations smoother. This month, the WebSDK gets a small but powerful improvement for cleaner onboarding, User Verification expands with a new Norway Non-Doc Identity Verification method and better operator visibility. Questionnaire management has become easier with new API methods. For the Business Verification, we have strengthened corporate checks in Brazil with a new data source. And to top it off, Workflow Builder now supports adding and removing tags directly within action nodes, making workflow configuration more efficient.
January 5 -> January 9
SDK
Email field editing control
You can now control whether the email field can be edited in the WebSDK.
- If the email is already prefilled (for example, provided via API), the applicant will see the email but will not be able to edit it.
- If the email field is empty, the applicant can enter their email as usual.
User Verification
Norway Non-Doc Identity Verification
Sumsub has introduced the Norway Non-Doc Identity Verification. It works by having the user share their National identification number (NIN), and authenticate themselves in their bank application.
Get started with Non-Doc Identity Verification ->New API methods for questionnaires
We have introduced two new API methods that allow you to get a list of all questionnaires on your client key, as well as information about which levels they are used in:
Vertical video orientation
The operator video feed is now switched from horizontal (webcam default, 3:2) to a vertical orientation (phone, 3:4). It means that the applicant now sees an operator with better visibility and no extra surroundings.
Business Verification
New source for corporate checks in Brazil
We have integrated a new KYB data source for Brazil. This source gives us access to online government data with the following key features:
- Online data from the Brazilian federal tax‐registry authority.
- Search by name and pre-fill are supported.
- Information about directors and shareholders is available (without shareholder stake details).
Travel Rule
UTXO transaction handling
We have introduced UTXO transaction handling to improve how on-chain data is extracted and interpreted for UTXO-based Travel Rule transactions. This feature allows configuration of on-chain data extraction for the following networks:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
For more information on UTXO transactions, refer to this article.
Workflow Builder
Tags update
You can now add and remove tags directly within an action node in the Workflow Builder.
