During the KYC onboarding process, it may be necessary to upload supporting documentation. This endpoint will list the document types.

The name and identity_type values retrieved here for a given document type should be used when uploading with /documents, and name can be used as a search filter when listing uploaded documents with /list_documents.

❗️
Advanced KYC
For Advanced KYC, the only options for documents to upload are: driver's license, state ID, or passport. Only one document needs to be uploaded - do not upload more than one.
Doc upload is not supported for business entities for Advanced KYC. Additional verification, if necessary, will be done manually by the Sila BankOps team.

Requests

The request body at this endpoint is the header_msg JSON object.

Authorization / Authentication

Apps using Access Token Authorization

Use a valid access token in a Authorization: Bearer request header.

See Authenticating with an Access Token for more details.

Apps using ECDSA Authentication

Only the authsignature header is required for this request.

See the section on ECDSA Authentication for more detail about ECDSA signature generation.

Pagination

This endpoint supports pagination via URL query parameters:

/document_types?page=1&per_page=20

page: page number to retrieve. default: 1
per_page: number of items per page. default: 20, max: 100

📘
Default page size will not include all items
Please note that this endpoint currently returns 28 document types, which is in excess of the default per_page value of 20. If you wish to retrieve all items in one request, use the ?per_page=100 query parameter.
