Use Device Intelligence for pre-KYC check

You can leverage Device Intelligence during the initial onboarding phase (pre-KYC).

This can serve multiple purposes, such as granting limited access to your services before proceeding with full KYC verification, ensuring users pass a default verification check before registration, and more. For example, you have a sign-up form on your service and want to prevent the creation of multiple fake user accounts by using Device Intelligence risk signals and Device Identification to detect multi-accounting attempts from the same device.

To initiate a Device Intelligence check for pre-KYC evaluation, complete the following steps:

1. Integrate the JS SDK and Sumsub API on your side to capture device data.
2. Create an applicant profile by sending a request using the access token obtained from the previous step. This links the captured device data with the applicant.
3. Request the applicant check to trigger the Device Intelligence analysis.

Notes

• When creating an applicant profile in this flow, the required fields in the request are levelName, accessToken, and externalUserId.
• To enable Advanced IP check during pre-KYC, include the creationTrackingData object with the IP address as well. All other fields are optional.
