# Initiate Verification

This enables you to initiate the user's KYC/KYB process. Basic information for the individual or business user must be provided before initiating user's KYC/KYB. If additional information is added or any information is updated on the user, KYC/KYB should be re-initiated using this API.

#### `POST /users/{{user_id}}/kyc`

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Request Sample" %}

```
curl --location -g --request POST '{{url}}/users/{{user_id}}/kyc' \
--header 'X-Client-Id: {{client_id}}' \
--header 'X-Client-Secret: {{client_secret}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response Sample" %}

```
{
   "success": true,
   "status": "INITIATED"
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The status of the user changes from "UNVERIFIED" at the beginning to "IN PROGRESS" to "VERIFIED" eventually if the KYC/KYB process is complete and successful. Details on the statuses can be found [here](https://paas.docs.machnetinc.com/api-references/user/registration/user-verification-status).
