Request body

Content type application/json. The document details to validate

Field	Description
`preflight`	boolean When set to true, the request will only perform a preflight check to validate the input parameters. No actual verification will be performed. Example: `false`
`consent`	boolean The individual's consent to perform the check Example: `true`
`oac`	string [4..20 characters] or null The DVS Identity (Originating Agency Code) to run the check under. You only need this if Global Data has set up additional DVS Identities on your account, for example because you submit checks on behalf of other organisations. If you leave it out, your account's own DVS Identity is used. If you send it, it must be your account's own DVS Identity or one of its additional identities. Any other value is rejected. In the sandbox you can also use the sample identities `SANDBOX1`, `SANDBOX2` and `SANDBOX3`, so you can try checks on behalf of another organisation before your own are set up. They are rejected in the live environment. Example: `ABC1`
`first_name`	string The first name of the document holder as printed on the document Example: `John`
`last_name`	string The last name of the document holder as printed on the document Example: `Smith`
