Information Validations

Information Validations are comprehensive identity verification records within Verifik's system that store and manage all the personal information collected during the user onboarding process. Think of them as the central database that holds everything we know about a user's identity, from their basic details to verification results and background check outcomes.

How Information Validations Work

Every Information Validation represents a single user's complete identity profile that gets built up throughout the verification process. When someone goes through your onboarding system, Verifik creates an Information Validation record to store all their personal information, verification results, and compliance data in one organized place.

Currently, Information Validations are designed for:

  • onboarding - New user registration and onboarding

Getting Started

  1. Set up your Project first (this contains basic information about your system)

  2. Configure your Project Flow to define what information you need to collect

  3. Information Validations are created automatically when users start the verification process

  4. Monitor verification progress through the API to track completion and identify issues

What Happens During Information Validation

  1. User Provides Information: Someone enters their personal details during onboarding

  2. Validation Record Created: Verifik creates an Information Validation with a unique ID

  3. Data Collection: Each piece of information is stored and organized

  4. Verification Process: Information is validated against documents and databases

  5. Status Updates: Verification results and progress are continuously updated

  6. Completion: Final status is recorded (ACTIVE, FAILED, or NEEDS_MANUAL_VERIFICATION)

Verification Methods
