Digital identity verification — no in-person checks
Confirm that your candidate is who they say they are. InfoVetted's identity check captures a document scan and facial match digitally — no in-person appointment, no paper copies.
What is an identity verification check?
An identity verification check confirms the identity of a candidate by verifying an identity document (passport, driving licence, or national ID) and matching the document to the person presenting it via a facial photograph.
This is the foundational layer of any background screening process — you need to confirm who someone is before you can verify anything else about them.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace the need to see the original document?
For Right to Work: a certified digital identity check via an approved IDSP provides the statutory excuse without needing to see the original in person. For general identity verification: yes — the digital check provides a robust, auditable alternative to manual document inspection.
What documents are accepted?
UK and international passports, UK driving licence (photo card), EEA national identity cards, and Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
What if the liveness check or facial match fails?
A failed or inconclusive result is flagged in your dashboard for manual review. You decide how to proceed — InfoVetted does not make suitability decisions.
