<Note>Mode: `account_verification`</Note>

Opal Account Verification is a pre-built flow for verifying a specific account. It provides a secure, compliant way to verify a single, known account (for example, a specific credit card).

## What this mode does

Account Verification drives a focused verification flow for a single, known account (for example, a specific credit card). You must pass the target account\_id. Account Verification will automatically be invoked when needed (for example, during card\_connect), or can be used as a standalone module.

## Parameters

<ParamList
  items={[
{
  name: "account_id",
  type: "string",
  description: "The account to verify.",
  required: true,
},
]}
/>

## Create a token

You can create an account verification session token using one of the supported patterns:

* Existing entity: provide `entity_id` + `mode` + `account_verification`
* Create new entity: provide `entity` + `mode` + `account_verification`
* Resume session: provide `session_id` only (omit `mode` and `account_verification`)

### Existing Entity

```json theme={null}
{
  "entity_id": "ent_...",
  "mode": "account_verification",
  "account_verification": { "account_id": "acc_..." }
}
```

### Create New Entity

```json theme={null}
{
  "entity": {
    "type": "individual",
    "individual": {
      "first_name": "Kevin",
      "last_name": "Doyle",
      "phone": "+15125551234"
    }
  },
  "mode": "account_verification",
  "account_verification": { "account_id": "acc_..." }
}
```

### Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "token": "otkn_...",
  "valid_until": "2025-06-10T22:50:53.024Z",
  "session_id": "osess_..."
}
```
