About the ID Check
Our ID check is powered by Equifax (it does not affect your credit score) and includes checks across many different sources:
- Residency - Electoral Roll, credit agreements, BT telephone and court data
- Identity - Electoral Roll, credit agreements, BT telephone
- Alerts - HM Treasury Sanctions, Senior Political Figures, OFAC and deceased check
- Linked addresses - such as previous addresses
- Electoral Roll - details of the subject and associates on the Electoral Roll
The minimum requirement for a Verified ID is 2 residency matches, 1 identity and 0 alerts.
Anything else will be marked 'Not Verified' which means you will need to verify your identity using another method such as photographic ID.
Photographic ID
You can add a scanned PDF of photographic ID such as a driving licence or passport to supplement your identity verification.
- Sign in to your account and go to My Profile
- In the Uploaded Files panel, click Add PDF
- Find the PDF and upload
The PDF will now be stored on your profile to help verify your identity and improve trust in your profile.
