Overview

Use this method to check the specified applicant profile in accordance with the verification level settings. In effect, it means the applicant goes to the pending review status awaiting for verification.

This is helpful, for example, when you believe a mistake was made by the system during the previous check, or you are sending applicant documents via API and would like Sumsub to perform a check.

Note

You cannot use this method when an applicant is currently being checked and is in pending, queued, or prechecked review status.
