Import applicant

Verification level name. The level determines the verification steps the applicant must complete and the documents that are required for verification.

⚠ Mind the following:

• A level has to be created in the same environment. For example, in the Sandbox mode, you may not be able to use a level configured to be only available in the Production environment.
• A level name is case-sensitive. Kyc-level and kyc-level are considered as completely different level names. The system does not allow creating an applicant with the level name that does not exist.
• If a level name contains reserved characters (for example, @, +, white spaces as %20), it should be URL-encoded, otherwise you may get a signature mismatch.
• The system does not allow creating a company profile with a level for individuals and vice versa.

Unique applicant identifier as registered on your side.

• This identifier can be used to get the applicant data in case the applicantId in the Sumsub system is unknown to you.
• When creating an applicant, you can generate and add the externalUserId manually, or it will be automatically generated and added by Sumsub.
• You can change the externalUserId by the following method.

Source key that helps you group clients that send applicants. Providing sourceKey during import eliminates the need for a separate update API call, helping you avoid redundant two-step flows.
