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. Who needs it? ### Any employer screening candidates - ✓Any employer building a comprehensive pre-employment package - ✓FCA-regulated firms — identity verification is a component of SMCR due diligence - ✓Roles with access to sensitive data, financial systems, or client information - ✓Any employer moving from manual document inspection to a digital, auditable process What it checks ## What gets verified - ✓**Document verification:** passport, UK driving licence, or national identity card - ✓**Authenticity checks:** document security features, expiry, and format validation - ✓**Facial match:** live selfie matched against the document photograph - ✓**Liveness detection:** confirms the selfie is taken by a real, present person - ✓**Name and date of birth** cross-reference Simple Process ## Up and running in days, not months 1 #### Define your package Choose checks by role — Senior Manager, Certified Person, or a custom package for your firm. 2 #### Invite your candidate Candidate receives a secure link to the InfoVetted portal, which displays your company name.

Common questions ## 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.
