Send verification links

Verification links are links that you can send to your users to verify their identity. Your users receive a link, open it, and are then directed to a one-off web interface where they can scan their identity document.

Verification links require no authentication.

In order for verification links to work, you first need to create a workflow. Each verification link is an instance of a workflow.

Verification links are single-use only. You must not send the same verification link to multiple users, as each link is scoped to one identity verification. If you resend the same link, it will not work.

Whenever you need a user to go through your workflow, generate a new link.

Go to your workflows page, find your workflow, and then click the three dots to open the Versions and status page for your workflow.

Workflow menu

On that page, clicking Try verification link will generate a verification link which will open in a new tab.

Try verification link

Copy that link and share it with your users.

You can also create verification links using the Platform API. Read more about that here.
