Stop hiring fraud before it starts

Hiring fraud is more common than most employers realize—and it starts before a background check ever runs. Checkr's identity verification (IDV) confirms who your candidates are before screening begins. This means you're not making decisions based on someone else's information.

Fully integrated into your Checkr workflow, IDV checks US government-issued IDs, matches a live selfie, and flags mismatches automatically. The best part? Candidates can complete IDV in minutes.

Identity verification that works as hard as you do

Built for hiring

Seamlessly integrates into your existing workflow—whether alongside background checks or at high-risk points in the hiring journey.

Seamless candidate experience

No accounts, external sites, or digital wallets required. Candidates complete verification in a mobile-friendly flow in ~2 minutes.

Advanced fraud detection

Goes beyond basic ID checks with liveness detection, biometric matching, and device and behavioral signals.

Run it where it matters most

Built for the realities of modern hiring, IDV is embedded directly into your workflow—unlike general-purpose identity solutions.

Order identity verification with a background check so you're only verifying candidates who have a verified identity. Those who don't pass will have the background check canceled.

Flexible across your hiring workflow

Use IDV wherever risk is highest—from initial screening to post-hire checks.

Built for the realities of modern hiring, IDV is embedded directly into your workflow—unlike general-purpose identity solutions. Run it alongside background checks or at key moments in the candidate journey to ensure a seamless, end-to-end verification process.

Mismatched locations

IDV flags candidates appearing to submit from outside the US before they move forward in your hiring process.

Identity theft

When a selfie doesn't match the submitted ID photo, IDV flags it automatically—so you're not relying on a manual review.

Impersonation attempts

IDV detects when someone submits a screenshot or photo of another person during the live selfie step, stopping impersonation before it progresses.

Expired identification

Candidates without a valid US government-issued ID are flagged before your background check begins, saving you screening costs and avoiding downstream I-9 issues.

Catch the problems you didn't know to look for.
