Verify an identity
Beta
Checkout.com's Identity Verification solution verifies the identity of your users. This enables you to meet compliance requirements and reduce the risk of fraud.
To integrate and configure Identity Verification, contact your Account Manager or [email protected].
When a new user wants to onboard with you and you need to verify their identity, the flow is as follows:
- Create an applicant ID for the user.
- Create an identity verification.
- Create an attempt.
- Checkout.com sends you a URL to a web session to redirect the user to.
- Manage the redirect as required to ensure a smooth user experience.
- The user completes the flow on their mobile device, using their camera to scan their face and documents.
They can reattempt the flow if required. - Checkout.com reviews the verification and sends you the result via a webhook.
Use the verification result to decide on next actions. - Optionally, you can:
- Retrieve an identity verification for details about the result or the user's session.
- Download a report about the verification in PDF format.
You can also use the dedicated Identity Verification Dashboard to:
- View and manage your Identity Verification activity
- See detailed identification data
