TLDR: The Original ID report from Thirdfort includes a Document Report verifying the authenticity of a client's photo ID and matching data, a Facial Similarity Report confirming the client’s identity via biometric comparison, and appendices showing submitted photos and documents. Flags indicate areas needing review, with detailed explanations available in linked articles.
The Original ID report
The Enhanced NFC ID report contains the following sections:
- Document Report
- Facial Similarity Report
- Database Address Match Report
- PEP and Sanctions Report
- CCJs & Insolvency report (if enabled)
Document Report
As part of the Original ID verification process, your client will be asked to upload a picture of their photo ID into the Thirdfort app.
This tells you whether or not the document submitted by your client has been reported as lost to the police, whether it is genuine, and whether the information on the document matches the data supplied by the client.
This will also tell you whether the information in the machine-readable zone (MRZ) matches the information listed on the document.
Once uploaded, our software will perform a series of verification checks on the document to ensure its authenticity. These are outlined on the resulting ID report. A copy of the ID document is included in Appendix 2 of the report for your review and file.
Below is an example of a Document report that has passed all checks:
Where a verification check requires your attention, 'Consider' will be displayed. This indicates there is an element of the report to review.
For a full breakdown of what each flag can be found, please see Flags on an Original ID report.
The Facial Similarity Report
The Facial Similarity verification confirms whether the person completing the verification process is in fact the document holder, by comparing the biometrics of the face with the selfie video uploaded in the app.
