FAQs

What is OneID?

Certn’s OneID identity verification check uses biometric facial recognition technology to verify someone’s identity instantly. It works by matching a person’s government-issued ID document with a real-time selfie. All you need to request a OneID verification is a person’s name and email address.

What shows up in an ID verification check?

OneID uses facial recognition to match a selfie in real-time with identification documents. The report will confirm the name, date of birth, address, document type, issuing country and expiry date of their identification documents.

What do I need to run an ID verification check?

All you need to request a OneID verification is a person’s name and email address.

Candidates just need to access a mobile phone or desktop computer’s camera and have one piece of identification, such as a passport or driver’s license ready.

What is the process?

Our simple and secure 3-step identity verification process is completed in a few clicks through mobile or desktop.

A secure, encrypted link is emailed to your candidate.
The candidate consents and uploads photos of their ID and a selfie with a few clicks.
That’s it! Automated prompts guide the candidate and pre-filled data means it takes minutes. The results are sent back to you as part of the report.

How long does it take?

After the candidate successfully submits their background check, you receive the ID verification results instantly.
