Check Identity Pack

Run an AFP 100-point or AUSTRAC safe-harbour identity check over a document set. Reports the points attained, per-document status, and exactly what's missing — so the user can request only the absent documents and re-run. Uses the Stipple API (free anonymous tier).

When to use

• Onboarding employees, tenants, contractors, or customers in Australia
• KYC flows needing AFP 100-point or AUSTRAC safe-harbour compliance
• "Do these documents satisfy the 100-point check?"

Instructions

1. Get the documents. Multiple file paths or URLs (PDF/images): passport, driver's licence, medicare card, bank statement, utility bill, etc.

2. Choose the scheme:

   • afp_100_point — the standard Australian 100-point system
   • austrac_safe_harbour — AUSTRAC safe-harbour identity verification

3. Run the check. POST the document set (multipart, multiple files parts):

   curl -X POST "https://www.stipple.sh/v1/identity-check?scheme=afp_100_point" \
     -F "files=@passport.pdf" \
     -F "files=@medicare-card.jpg" \
     -F "files=@bank-statement.pdf" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $STIPPLE_API_KEY"
   

4. Interpret the response.

   • status — complete / incomplete / failed
   • points_total — points attained (e.g. 95/100)
   • checks[] — per-document: type detected, point value, status
   • missing[] — exactly what is missing (e.g. "evidence of current residential address within last 3 months")

5. Report with the gap list front and centre. The product here is the exactly-what's-missing list — the user's onboarding UX can loop on it: request only what's absent, re-run, done.

6. Important caveat. Identity check answers who is this — it does NOT answer is this document genuine. A forged passport that matches the name scores points. For genuineness, pair with the verify-document skill on each document first.

Output format

AFP 100-point check: incomplete

  points attained: 95/100
  - passport: 70 pts — ok
  - medicare_card: 25 pts — ok
  - drivers_licence: 40 pts — ok

  exactly what is missing:
    -> evidence of current residential address within last 3 months

Limitations and Safety

• This workflow uploads identity and address documents to a hosted third-party service. Obtain the user's explicit approval before transmission, minimize the files and fields sent, and confirm the provider's current retention, residency, access, and deletion terms for the intended jurisdiction.
• A points result is an aid to review, not a legal KYC/AML determination. Verify scheme rules against current AFP, AUSTRAC, and organizational requirements and keep a qualified human reviewer responsible for the onboarding decision.
• Never treat a passing score as proof that a document is genuine or that the named person controls it; run independent authenticity and liveness checks where the decision warrants them.

Notes

• Costs 2 credits per check; free weekly allowance applies
• Point values: passport 70, citizenship certificate 70, birth certificate 70, driver's licence 40, medicare card 25, bank statement 25, utility bill 25, council rates 25
• The check maps documents to the scheme and reports gaps — it does not verify document authenticity (use verify-document for that)
• Free key at https://www.stipple.sh for metering beyond the anonymous allowance
