Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to all your identity verification questions.

What is an identity verification solution and how does it work?

An identity verification solution, like Cisive’s IDVerity, uses advanced technology to validate an individual’s identity before or during the hiring process. It analyzes government-issued IDs, biometric data, and other identifiers to confirm authenticity and detect inconsistencies.

This approach to identity validation helps organizations establish trust at the start of the background screening process.

What’s the difference between identity verification and a background check?

Identity validation confirms that a person is who they claim to be, while a background check evaluates their history, such as criminal records or employment. Identity validation is often the first step, ensuring all subsequent screening is tied to the correct individual.

Together, they create a more accurate and reliable screening process.

What types of identity documents can you verify (driver’s license, passport, ID card, etc.)?

ID Verity can validate a wide range of government-issued identification documents, including driver’s licenses, passports, and national ID cards. The system is designed to assess document authenticity and extract key data points.

This flexibility supports identity screening across different roles and regions.

Can this solution support I-9/Right to Work verification requirements?

Yes. Identity validation can support I-9 and Right to Work processes by helping confirm that identity documents are authentic and belong to the individual presenting them.

When paired with electronic I-9 workflows, it strengthens compliance and reduces the risk of errors or fraudulent documentation.

How do you handle false identities, fake documents, or deepfakes?

ID Verity uses advanced validation techniques, including document authentication and biometric matching, to detect signs of fraud such as altered documents or mismatched identities.
