Video-based identity verification
On this page, you will learn how to verify a person’s identity using a mobile video process.
The video-based identity verification service allows you to collect and verify a person’s ID document using their smartphone camera.
The verification process is straightforward and involves just a few steps:
-
You initiate a video identity verification request and receive a URL in return: you can share this URL with the person whose identity needs to be verified, or directly redirect them to it.
-
The person opens the URL and follows a mobile process to upload the front and back of their ID document. The verification can only be completed on a mobile device. If the URL is accessed from a desktop, a QR code will be provided, or an SMS can be sent to deliver the URL to their phone.
-
Once the identity is verified, you receive the response via a webhook or by calling a designated endpoint.
Coming soon
We plan to introduce new options for video identity verification in the coming weeks, including the ability to scan the user’s face and verify if it matches the photograph on the ID document.
