Could you build this?

No Identity verification requires regulatory compliance, liveness detection certified against presentation attacks (PAD/ISO 30107), government ID template databases, and strict anti-fraud ML models.

What it would actually take: A real identity verification API demands access to global identity document templates and authoritative verification sources (telecom/government registries), combined with high-accuracy OCR and biometric facial matching algorithms. It also requires certified passive/active 3D liveness detection to thwart deepfakes and spoofing, backed by continuous fraud modeling. Building this requires biometric security specialists, legal/compliance infrastructure, and partnerships with sovereign data issuers.
