# 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](../identity_verification_using_pingone_verify/p1_verify_policies.html).

| **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**                | A live photo (selfie) compared with government ID documents for verification.Verification is performed on PingOne Verify transactions by default, unless a customized verify policy is assigned to the transaction when it's created.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Liveness**                         | A liveness check on the live photo (selfie) for verification.Verification is performed on PingOne Verify transactions by default, unless a customized verify policy is added to the transaction when it's created.You can also configure the policy to enroll a verified selfie into PingOne Recognize automatically.

| **Voice Verification**               | Verification using voice samples of the end user. There are two types of voice verification policies: enrollment and verification.

Voice verification is deprecated and will be removed on October 17, 2026.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
