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
