Introducing Pre-Identity-Verification for Advanced Electronic Signature
Using Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) always required users to upload an identity document before signing.
As a result, integrating Yousign in user flows that already required an identity verification step was creating friction since Signers were asked to upload their identity documents twice.
Pre-Identity Verification for AES, aims to provide a simpler way to integrate Yousign in complex flows by allowing you to verify an identity before giving signers access to the signing flow, all while maintaining Yousign’s secured and certified AES. This way, signers have to upload their identity documents only once in your entire business flow.
What's new?
A new signer parameter
You can now use the pre_identity_verification_required parameter when creating a Signer via the Signer creation endpoint or when updating a Signer to indicate that a signer will go through a pre-verification process.
A new endpoint to pre-verify an identity
Use the new endpoint (see API reference)
POST /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/signers/{signerId}/identity_verification
to submit and verify an identity document before the signature process.
