Identity Verification Reviews and Ratings

What is Identity Verification?

Gartner defines identity verification (IDV) as the combination of activities during a digital interaction that brings a real-world identity claim within organizational risk tolerances. Identity verification capabilities — delivered as SaaS, software or an appliance — provide assurance that a real-world identity exists and that the individual claiming the identity is its true owner and is genuinely present during the digital interaction.

The purpose of identity verification is to establish confidence in the real-world identity of a person during a digital interaction when curated credentials do not exist, are not available or do not provide sufficient assurance.

Features of Identity Verification

Updated August 2025

Mandatory Features:

  • Capture of a person’s photo and data from a photo identification document, followed by assessment of the document’s authenticity to provide assurance that the real-world identity exists. Solutions must capture the document through one of the following technologies: 1. Optical capture and processing, including optical character recognition (OCR) or analysis of bar code or quick response (QR) code. 2. Data extraction from a chip using near-field communication (NFC).

  • The complete identity verification process must be carried out by a person on a normal user device (a laptop, tablet or smartphone, for example) with no requirement for the user to rely on specialized hardware.

  • Image capture of the person’s face, with integrated liveness detection to ensure human presence, followed by biometric face comparison with the photo from the identity document.
