Maybe by building a ride hailing application, providing logistics service, transforming the daily commute of individuals, businesses?

Well, while some of your concerns may include ways to validate the identities of the drivers, to ensure an easy onboarding process that suits your use case, to prevent the creation of false identities, and eliminate fraudulent activities, with Dojah’s Lookup Driver’s License API, you are many steps into a seamless solution.

The driver’s license is one of many acceptable documents issued as a means of identification in Nigeria, to anyone intending to operate any type of vehicle in the country.

So what better way to have your solution.

How does it work?

With this API, you can easily validate the driving license number of an individual using just the license number and date of birth of the individual to give as results, the:

  • Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)
  • License number
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Middle name
  • Gender
  • Issued date

  • State of Issue
  • Birthdate
  • Photo of the individual
