US National ID Card (SSN)

United States National ID Cards are official identification documents issued by the United States government that confirm an individual’s identity and citizenship. They include personal details such as the individual’s name, date of birth, ID card number, and expiration date.

Note on National ID in the USA

For the United States, the NATIONAL_ID document type in the FrankieOne KYC v2 API primarily facilitates the verification of a Social Security Number (SSN), as the U.S. does not issue a single, standardized physical ‘National ID Card.’ This type is used when the SSN is provided for identity corroboration.

  • Social Security Number (SSN): While not a physical ID card, the SSN is a unique nine-digit number essential for employment, taxation, and accessing government or financial services.
