Biometric Identity Check - Document Verification Results

This article aims to help you understand the results you may see for the Document Verification check performed as part of the biometric identity check.

Document Verification Results

For Document Verification results, you will be presented with one of two outcomes:

  • Passed (Green) - When a Document Verification appears as green, this means that the document has been passed.
  • Failed (red) - When a Document Verification appears as red, this means that our partner Credas has not been able to verify that the document is genuine and valid. An example may be that the document is expired. A breakdown on what caused the failure will be available in the Report.

When you review the report, you will be presented with a list of checks that have been run on the Document Verification and whether these have passed, failed, or were not performed, as can be seen below.
