Identity Verification

Identity Verification

Identity verification is the first line of defense against hiring fraud. Checkr helps organizations confirm candidate identity quickly and securely—before the background check begins.

As fraud tactics become more sophisticated, including stolen identities and impersonation, Checkr’s identity verification adds a critical upfront step to ensure you’re screening real, verified candidates. Document verification and liveness checks help confirm that the person applying is who they claim to be, reducing risk and preventing wasted spend on fraudulent applicants.

Fully embedded within the Checkr workflow, identity verification is completed in a single, seamless experience—no additional tools, logins, or redirects required. Candidates can verify their identity in just a few steps from their mobile device, helping improve completion rates and reduce drop-off.

By validating identity at the start of the hiring process, Checkr helps teams move faster, reduce fraud-related risk, and maintain confidence in their screening program.
