Inverite's ID Verify product allows merchants to confirm a customer's identity remotely by validating a government-issued ID and matching it to a real-time liveness check (selfie). The entire process is completed by the customer on their smartphone in seconds.
How the ID Verification Flow Works
• Step 1: Your platform initiates an ID Verify session via the Inverite API.
• Step 2: The customer receives a link and is prompted to photograph their government-issued ID using their phone camera.
• Step 3: Inverite validates the ID for authenticity signals and extracts key data (name, address, date of birth, gender).
• Step 4: The customer takes a live selfie, which is matched against the photo on the ID using facial recognition.
• Step 5: Inverite returns a verification result — confirmed or unconfirmed — along with the extracted ID data.
Supported ID Types
• Driver's licences (all Canadian provinces and territories)
• Provincial ID cards
• Medical services cards (where barcodes are present)
Unsupported ID Types
• Passports
• Paper health cards without barcodes
• Indian Status cards
If a customer presents an unsupported document type, the verification will fail. Advise the customer to use a supported card-based ID.
What Data Is Returned
• Full name
• Address
• Date of birth and age
• Gender
• Verification result (confirmed / unconfirmed)
Note: ID Verify can be used standalone or combined with Bank Verify for a complete identity and income verification workflow.
