Can I verify that someone studies at a university in Nigeria?
Yes. 60 universities and research institutions in Nigeria are reachable through Studid. Users prove their academic affiliation by signing in with their own institution's single sign-on (SAML) — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
How many institutions in Nigeria are reachable?
60 universities, colleges and research institutions in Nigeria participate in a national research and education federation that Studid connects to via eduGAIN.
Can I recognize returning users from these institutions?
Whether a stable authIdentifier is available depends on the institution: institutions that advertise persistent NameIDs provide one, while transient-only institutions return null. Each institution page shows whether it advertises persistent identifiers.
How do I verify students from Nigeria?
Create a verification session via POST /v2/auth/verification, redirect the user to the returned link, and poll GET /v2/auth/verification/{id} after they authenticate at their institution. The integration guide has a complete walkthrough.
