How IDV works
The user is asked to take a photo of their government-issued identity document and a simple selfie. This can be completed on a device and platform of their choice, as Veriff supports iOS, Android™, mobile web, and web SDK or API.
Veriff guides the user through the entire process with real-time feedback and automatically identifies the document type, so the user doesn’t have to manually enter data. This makes the process quicker and minimizes typing errors.
The user is asked to take a simple selfie and Veriff’s Assisted Image Capture lets them know immediately if there’s something wrong with the image. We quickly detect liveness and realness without asking users to move unnaturally or follow complex instructions.
The data is securely sent to Veriff and our AI-powered identity verification technology provides a decision in a matter of seconds based on the identity checks your business requires.
Get genuine users onboarded faster while fighting identity fraud.

How do I secure and authenticate Veriff webhooks?
Veriff secures webhook communication by requiring you to verify the X-HMAC-SIGNATURE header on received webhooks. This signature is an HMAC-SHA256 hex-encoded keyed hash calculated using a shared secret key known only to you and Veriff. This ensures all payload activities picked up by your webhook listener originate authentically from Veriff.
How do I map a Veriff verification result back to a specific user in my database?
When generating a verification session via the POST /sessions API, you can map the user by passing your internal identifier into the vendorData or endUserId string parameters. Veriff stores this non-semantic data and returns it unmodified in all webhooks and API response payloads, ensuring you can perfectly reference the result to your relevant end-user.
