Identity Checks

The identity data layer for safer, smarter verification

Checkr delivers real-time identity verification and criminal data in one flexible platform. Confirm who someone is, stop synthetic fraud, and keep high-risk users out without slowing down the people you want in.

Identity verification alone is not enough

Traditional identity checks tell you who someone is, but that's only one part of the picture. It can't tell you the risks of handing them keys to a car, access to a facility, or a first date with one of your users. High-stakes decisions need the full picture. Checkr combines identity verification and criminal data to deliver risk intelligence others miss.

Built to reduce fraud without adding friction

Spot synthetic and stolen identities

Validate identity information against authoritative sources in real time and flag mismatches instantly.

Increase conversion without increasing risk

Verify most users passively, so legitimate customers get through without drop-off.

Automate fraud detection at scale

Configure workflows to trigger reviews only when needed, cutting manual work and false positives.

Identify verification infrastructure proven at scale

Checkr powers millions of verifications every month, bringing enterprise-grade identity verification to your platform. Authoritative data, document checks, and biometrics, all combined in one seamless flow.

Two layers of trust. One flexible platform.

Checkr offers PII validation and document verification through a flexible API so you can configure identity checks to fit your risk level, use case, or workflow.

PII validation

Validate name, date of birth, and at least one identifier—email, phone, or address—against a graph of more than 9 billion records from verified sources.

  • Designed for real-time, frictionless identity resolution
  • Compliant with Customer Identification Program (CIP) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements

Biometric and document verification (DocV)

Authenticate government-issued IDs and verify facial biometrics with 99% detection rate and near-zero false positives.

  • Designed for high-risk, age-restricted, and two-sided marketplaces
  • NIST PAD L2 and IAL 2 compliant

Built for high-stakes decisions

Whether you’re sending someone into a home, renting out a $50,000 vehicle, or enabling in-person interactions, you need insight into who your customer is to protect your users and business.
