{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: As of **January 19th 2026**, the previous requirement (KYCF00007 - selfie video) for which the last row is a replacement will **no longer be accepted** by our APIs. Partners are to integrate [Smile ID](https://docs.usesmileid.com/integration-options/mobile/getting-started) document [verification](https://docs.usesmileid.com/integration-options/mobile/products/document-verification) into their front-end (setting `skipApiSubmission: true`).

This change is mandatory for all partners onboarding **current accounts** and is part of a broader effort to standardise identity verification, improve security, and streamline the end-user experience.&#x20;
