Verification catalogueIdentity verification that candidates finish in minutes
Verify a candidate is who they say they are: government-issued ID, facial matching, and liveness detection in one mobile flow that takes minutes.
What's checked
- Government-issued ID (passport, driving licence, national ID)
- Facial similarity match between selfie and document photo
- Liveness detection to stop photo-of-a-photo fraud
- Document authenticity signals (fonts, MRZ, security features)
What you get
- Pass / review / fail outcome with evidence
- Extracted, verified identity data for your records
- Photo and document images stored with consent
- Full audit trail for compliance
Turnaround
Typically minutes, the check completes as soon as the candidate finishes the mobile flow.
Why it matters
Identity is the anchor check: every other verification is only as good as the identity it's attached to. HireCheck runs it first, so downstream checks bind to a verified person.
