Identity Checks
Identity Checks (KYC) enable organisations to verify the true identity of clients, employees, or applicants quickly and securely. Simplified.ID’s digital verification tools combine document validation, biometric analysis, and database checks — helping businesses meet AML, onboarding, and safeguarding obligations with confidence.
Identity Checks Details
What Are Identity Checks (KYC)?
Identity verification is an essential part of AML and 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 system validates documents such as passports, driving licences, and proof of address in real time — cross-referencing details against trusted global data sources for accuracy and reliability.
Our automated checks are secure, auditable, and fully compliant with the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), ensuring your onboarding process is both fast and dependable.
How Identity Checks Work
Our system uses AI-powered document scanning and facial recognition to confirm identity within seconds. It automatically validates key data against international watchlists and government databases, ensuring accuracy and compliance for every verification.
