Add this endpoint alongside your existing server-side endpoints at the callback URL configured for your OwnID application, for example: 
POST https://example.com/api/ownid/verifyIdDoc
OwnID sends this request when the user completes the hosted document verification step. Your endpoint should validate the request signature, inspect the verification result, compare it with your account data, and return a decision.
Always validate the ownid-signature and ownid-timestamp headers before trusting the request body. See Validating Signatures for the validation process.
