Identity Checks
Electronic Identity Checks (eIDV) enable organisations to verify the true identity of clients, employees, and applicants along with their identity documents quickly and securely. Simplified.ID’s proprietary digital verification tools combine document verification, biometric analysis, and database checks — helping businesses meet AML, onboarding, and safeguarding obligations with confidence.
Identity Verification Checks
What is an Identity Verification Check (eIDV)?
Identity verification is an essential part of AML compliance frameworks. It confirms that individuals are who they claim to be, helping to prevent fraud, financial crime, and identity theft.
Simplified.ID’s KYC platform has a multi level approach combining data with customer driven information such as passports and driving licences to collate a holistic and robust identity verification.
Our automated checks are secure, auditable, and fully compliant with the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), ensuring your onboarding process is fast, compliant and dependable.
Our technology is specifically designed to support a wide range of firms in their digital onboarding of their customers.
How Identity Checks Work
Our system leverages NFC chip reading technology to open the chip in passports to get an undisputable verification of a customer from their passports. It also cross checks driving licences against the DVLA database to verify the integrity of the document as a proof of identity/address. In addition the platform uses AI-powered document scanning, liveness and facial recognition to tie all the information into one robust identity verification within seconds. Furthermore it automatically validates key data against international watchlists and government databases, ensuring accuracy and compliance across every verification.
