PingOne Verify types of verification (early access)

PingOne Verify offers different types of verification to enable secure user verification. Learn more about configuring them in Verify policies.

Verification Description

Government ID

Verification based on government-issued documents. For example, a driver license or a passport.

By default, Government ID verifications use an automated inspection system. If automated verification is unsupported or fails due to poor image quality, the process falls back to manual inspection or a step-up approach (automated followed by manual).

For users in India, you can also perform Aadhaar eID verification using DigiLocker. This method allows users to share official identity attributes directly from their government-backed electronic wallet. By using this electronic path instead of image-only checks, you can reduce manual reviews and document failures while maintaining compliance with Indian digital identity standards.

Verification is performed on PingOne Verify transactions by default, unless a customized verify policy is assigned to the transaction when it’s created.

Facial Comparison
