Pennsylvania DMV Data Verification

The Pennsylvania DMV Data Verification check allows you to verify the driver's license information provided by an individual against the Pennsylvania DMV database. This check can help you confirm the validity of a driver's license and ensure that the information provided matches the records on file with the Pennsylvania DMV.

While this is the same service as the standard USA DMV Data Verification, the Pennsylvania DMV requires additional consent from the end user before the check can be performed. For more information on how to implement the consent form, please refer to the Consent Feature documentation.

consentGiven Field

For the Pennsylvania DMV specifically, an additional field called consentGiven must be included in the request body when performing the check. This field should be set to true if the end user has provided consent, and false if they have not.

{
  "firstName": "SAMPLE",
  "lastName": "LICENSE",
  "dateOfBirths": "1965-02-14",
  "state": "PA",
  "consentGiven": true," //for Pennsylvania DMV, this field is required and must be set to true if the end user has provided consent
