About us

An identity verification company built around Kenya's national register.

GGR Systems Limited is one of the most dynamic identity verification companies in Kenya. Our infrastructure integrates with the national population register, the centralised government database that serves as the backbone for identity verification across the country.

The Kitambulisho

Every Kenyan citizen receives a National ID card at 18. It carries a unique identification number and is required for almost everything, from opening a bank account and registering a SIM card to accessing government services.

Verification without documents

With non-document verification, a business checks the customer's ID number directly against government-held records instead of asking for photos of documents. The result rests on official data, not on files the customer uploads.

How it works

Five steps from sign-up to verified records

The API runs behind your mobile app, web platform or digital onboarding journey.

  1. 01

    Get your credentials

    We set up your account with sandbox and live API credentials and access to the client portal.

  2. 02

    Allow your servers

    Register the public IP addresses your servers call from. Requests from anywhere else are refused.

  3. 03

    Test in the sandbox

    Fixed test numbers return every outcome, so you can build and test your integration at no cost.

  4. 04

    Top up and go live

    Prepay in KES or USD. Each lookup is charged from your balance, with low-balance alerts by email.

  5. 05

    Get the record

    Send an ID number and receive the registered details as structured JSON for your onboarding and compliance records.

Every lookup returns one of three outcomes: Found Not found Not completed, not charged

Why non-doc verification

Why businesses in Kenya are moving to it

M-Pesa set the standard for speed

Mobile money brought millions into the financial system and taught customers to expect fast, mobile, accessible services. Any business in Kenya's financial ecosystem needs onboarding that keeps up.

CBK requires robust KYC

The Central Bank of Kenya requires banks, payment providers, mobile money operators and lenders to verify customers before serving them. Checking ID numbers against government records means far less manual document review.

Fintech is growing quickly

A growing number of payment, lending and savings platforms compete for Kenya's digitally active population. Each needs verification that scales with growth instead of slowing acquisition.

Digital lending depends on fast checks

Kenya has one of the world's most active digital lending markets, with millions of micro-loans issued through apps every month. Lenders need instant identity checks to stay fast while preventing fraud.

Demand beyond finance

Telecoms meeting SIM registration rules, healthcare platforms onboarding patients remotely, insurers verifying policyholders and marketplaces building trust between buyers and sellers all need digital identity checks.
