The simple, secure way to verify your identity with a business. Submit documents to ID-Pal from anywhere and get verified in under a minute. The ID-Pal App Businesses use the ID-Pal App to securely capture your documents and information so they can verify your identity and establish a trusted relationship. International Anti-Money Laundering (AML) law requires certain companies to carry out these Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures for both new and existing clients to protect both you and the business. How it works Using advanced technology, verifying your identity is quick, easy and secure. In just a few clicks you can submit documents via our app. The ID-Pal app uses a unique blend of checks to correctly verify your identity in real-time for a business. What we do - Capture an Identity Document (ID) We verify every ID uploaded with up to 70 technical checks and against a vast library of documents to ensure it hasn't been forged or tampered with – all this happens in less than a minute. - Facial matching We match the image from the document against the individual to confirm it is of a genuine person. - Address Verification We can verify the name and address from the ID. To always ensure the safety and security of our app, we proudly hold: **ISO 27001 Certification** - the leading international standard in Information Security. **iBeta Level 1 and Level 2 Certification** - ensuring our technology functions to the highest standards.
