Verify your Identity Documents

Overview

Our identity verification process is quick and easy, allowing our users to upload their identity documents in a streamlined fashion. All the identity information on the documents, such as name and address, are also validated.

Users also take a selfie during this process, both for a liveness check and to match the real-life individual to the person shown on the identity document.

Please note that users must have a working mobile phone to receive SMS messages to verify their identity.

Enroll Driver's License

To get started, click Driver's License.

Users can also enroll documents from their Identity Wallet. To enroll a driver's license, find the Driver's License card and click enroll.

AAMVA Verification

Once the AAMVA check completes, you can view details for the verification results.
