Retry Codes

A retry is triggered when a verification step fails during the KYC flow. The retry limits per verification flow are as follows:
  • ID Document: Up to 3 retries. Exceeding the limit results in a too_many_retry rejection.
  • Knowledge Based: Up to 5 retries. Exceeding the limit results in a too_many_retry rejection.
  • FaceAuth: No retries are allowed. A single failure leads to immediate rejection (too_many_retry is not triggered).
In the table below, O / X indicates whether the retry code can occur in each verification flow. The FaceAuth column reflects the selfie process scope (Active/Passive Liveness, face comparison, face occlusion detection, etc.).
