Certn's ID Verification solution, including its OneID check, enables businesses to instantly verify a person’s identity using biometric facial recognition technology. This helps organizations grow with confidence and speed by ensuring that new hires and tenants are exactly who they claim to be. The system is designed to dip confidently into the global talent pool, checking government-issued IDs from over 240 countries and territories, supporting verification of more than 13,500 identity documents, including passports, driver’s licenses, and ID cards, in both Latin and non-Latin alphabets. The service addresses the common issue of inaccurate information in job applications, which can exceed 50%, by mitigating risk through pre-screening candidate verification. The seamless, three-step verification process is user-friendly, taking just a few clicks on desktop or mobile. Candidates receive a secure, encrypted link via email, consent, and then upload identification documents and a real-time selfie. Certn then verifies the IDs by matching the selfie with the government-issued document, consolidating results into a detailed verification report for review. This process typically yields instant results, with a backup alternative completed within 24 hours if the primary check cannot be finalized.
