GBG (Acuant) identity verification
Community-contributed integration
This integration is community-maintained. Reference: ory/integrates/identity-verification/gbg-acuant.
GBG (which acquired Acuant) provides global identity verification with document and biometric coverage. You call GBG's GO Journey API from an Ory Actions webhook to verify document and selfie evidence and gate the registration flow.
How it works
An Ory Action on registration.after (sync, response.parse: true) calls your handler. The handler calls the GBG GO Journey API,
which returns PASS, REFER, or FAIL. The handler echoes the decision back to Ory. Ory fails the flow on REFER or FAIL, or
writes the verdict to identity.metadata.
Notable
- The GBG-side flow is defined as a journey. The journey ID controls which evidence types are required.
- First-call cold-path latency can be 5 to 10 seconds. The handler caps the call at 15 seconds.
- Use one journey per risk tier, and switch journey IDs in the Ory hook configuration.
