Identity Verification
Confirm applicant identities at the very start of the hiring process. By validating information against government-issued IDs, you reduce errors, prevent fraud, and keep your screening accurate from day one.
What is ID Verification?
ID Verification confirms the applicant’s identity and imports their key details directly from a government?issued ID. That means fewer delays, cleaner data, and confidence that the person you’re screening is the person you’re hiring. Additionally, adding a selfie verification step prevents “borrowed” ID attempts and creates a consistent, documented security trail.
How Can Identity Verification Help
-
Block Fraud
Stop applicants from misrepresenting who they are. By confirming candidate's identity up front, you protect your organization from fraudulent activity. -
Simplify Onboarding
Directly import candidate information from their government ID, reducing the strain of data entry and preventing errors in the process. -
Prevent Hidden Records
By getting information such as name and date of birth directly from the candidate's ID, you avoid missing records due to nicknames, typos, or intentionally misentered information.
ID Verification fits directly into the beginning of the applicant portal process.
- Send Your Order – Place your background screening order as you do today.
- Applicant Scans ID – The portal prompts a secure ID capture.
- (Optional) Selfie Match – Add a selfie step to match face to ID photo.
- Verify & Import – Identity is confirmed in seconds and data flows directly into the background check.
An ID verification can fail for a number of reasons, ranging from fraudulent documents & false identity to poor photo quality. If it does fail, you will be given a reason for failure and the option to rerun the ID Verification. You can also opt to run more in depth searches to attempt to verify the provided documents.
