Understanding and implementing Verisoul Verifications
What Are Verifications?

- Authentication: Confirm a user is who they claim to be
ID Check
- Document Verification: Validate government-issued identification documents
- Liveness Detection: Ensure the verification is being performed by a real person

When to Use Verifications
Verifications can be triggered in several scenarios:
Risk-Based Verification
Automatically trigger verifications when risk thresholds are exceeded:
- Suspicious or Fake Accounts: When Verisoul marks an account as Suspicious or Fake, prompt the user to complete an additional verification to confirm their identity
Action-Based Verification
Require verification for specific high-value actions:
- Account creation: Verify identity during registration
- Login from new devices: Confirm it’s the legitimate user
- Password changes: Prevent unauthorized account changes
- Payment processing: Verify identity before processing payments
- Withdrawal requests: Confirm identity before sending funds
Manual Verification
Trigger verifications based on manual review:
- Suspicious activity: When a reviewer identifies concerning patterns
- Customer support: When helping users with sensitive account issues
- Compliance requirements: To meet regulatory obligations
