Identity Verification

Identity verification is designed to help you mitigate risk through a simple process where candidates verify that the information they provided about themselves, including name and date of birth, is indeed their own. This allows employers to verify that candidates are in fact who they claim to be. In any situation where remote verification is needed, both accuracy and reliable technology play critical roles.
