Legal ID SDK test personas
Test personas are fake identities that you can use in sandbox. You can use a persona in two ways:
- Legal ID SDK mock: Enter the persona’s phone number on the Choose mock outcome screen of the Legal ID SDK mock. Verification succeeds with that persona’s name, birth date, and address. The persona’s scenario is not used.
- Mock document uploads: Name an uploaded ID document file with the persona’s phone number, for example
8887891962.jpgor8887891962_front.jpg. ID.me returns the persona’s identity and its scenario outcome. For details, see Pick a persona with a file name.
Test personas only work in sandbox. Never enter real personal information when testing.
There are 147 personas in total. The success personas are grouped by the kind of name or address they test, so you can find the edge case you need.
Type in the filter box to search every table on this page by name, phone number, city, or state. If you enter more than one word, only rows that contain every word are shown. Select a column header to sort a table.
ID.me reads a legal ID’s first name field as a first name followed by any middle names, split at the first space. The Middle name column shows the result. For example, the first name field Mary Anne becomes the first name Mary and the middle name Anne.

These 122 personas complete verification successfully. ID.me returns the persona’s name, birth date, and address.

Multi-word last name
These last names have more than one word, including particles such as de la, van der, and von.

These names have hyphens, apostrophes, or accented letters.
Has suffix
The suffix, such as Jr. or III, is part of the last name.
Very short or very long name

These personas have a first name only. The last name is blank.

This persona is always exactly 16 years old. The birth date is set when the sandbox environment is deployed. Use this persona to test how your app handles users under 18.

These addresses have a second address line, such as an apartment or suite number.
Standard personas
These personas have no name or address edge cases.
Scenario personas
Each of these 13 personas returns one specific outcome when you use it in a mock document upload. In the Legal ID SDK mock, these personas succeed with their identity data.
Generic failure personas
These 12 personas return a generic verification failure when you use them in a mock document upload. Use them to test how your app handles failures without targeting a specific error.
