VeroID · Gateway service provider
The statements below are authorised by the IVS Framework Administrator for gateway service providers. They are reproduced verbatim (other than the gateway service provider name).
VeroID uses the Document Verification Service (DVS) to verify a person's government-held identity documents.
The DVS allows for instant, online identity verification. A person's name, address, date of birth and identity documents may be confirmed against government-held records. The DVS supports businesses to meet 'know your customer' requirements and to combat fraud and identity crime.
The Document Verification Service (DVS) is the only national capability offered by the Australian Government for businesses and government agencies to instantly and securely verify their customers' identity, without compromising their privacy.
Government agencies and businesses can use the DVS to verify identity documents. This will involve checking certain biographic information on an identity document, like someone's name, address, or date of birth.
Once a person provides express consent and their government-issued identity document, the DVS verifies the document against the government-held record.
As an approved gateway service provider, VeroID has a direct connection to the Document Verification Service, which is operated by the Australian Government. Businesses or government agencies can use this connection to verify a person's identity, with their express consent, against government-held records.
If you integrate VeroID as a business user, see consent obligations in our documentation and the official IDMatch guidance for users.
