# Response Signals

> Interpret the signals returned by ID Check verification

When you call [/verify-id](/api-reference/id-check/verify-id), Verisoul returns an overall decision along with the underlying risk signals captured during the session. Use this page as a reference for interpreting everything the endpoint returns.

## Interpreting the Response

The endpoint provides three values to help interpret the risk of the user and their document:

1. **Decision** -> an overall decision; Real, Suspicious, or Fake
2. **Risk Score** -> a 0-1 number score representing the overall risk of the user
3. **Risk Flags** -> an array of string flags that summarize the risky aspects of the user's session

<Tip>
  See here for the full set of [risk flags](/verifications/id-check/resources/risk-flags)
</Tip>

For more nuanced decisioning you can also interpret the other risk signals captured in the session.

## Device and Network Signals

Device and network Signals are information about the user's exact device and connecting network.

## Document Signals

Document Signals refers to the authenticity of the identity document.

## Referring Session Signals

Referring Session Signals will only be present if you initialized the session with a `referring_session_id` parameter.

<table className="w-full border-collapse">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th className="p-3 text-left bg-gray-100 border">Name</th>
      <th className="p-3 text-left bg-gray-100 border">Description</th>

  </thead>

    <tr>
      <td className="p-3 border">impossible\_travel</td>
      <td className="p-3 border">Referring session geolocation is far from ID Check geolocation relative to timespan</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td className="p-3 border">ip\_mismatch</td>
      <td className="p-3 border">Referring session IP different than ID Check session IP</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td className="p-3 border">user\_agent\_mismatch</td>
      <td className="p-3 border">Referring session user agent different than ID Check session user agent</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>

## Multi Accounting

ID Check will calculate any potential matches based on five identifiers captured during all sessions.

    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td className="p-3 border">face</td>
      <td className="p-3 border">ID Check session shares the same face</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
