The mobile verification process

As part of the new process, OCR Technology will read the users name and address from their ID document. Recording all required information, while saving the user the inconvenience of manually entering their details. 

The identity of users will generally be automatically verified in a matter of seconds. The greatly enhanced verification time is due to access to updated verification sources, with improved match rates.

In the event that users do not have access to a mobile device, they are able to manually upload their document as image files.
