<div dir="ltr">It's often called "Identification &
Verification" or ID&V.
<div><br></div>
<div>Useful to split out two concepts;</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. Is the information provided linked to a real person? You
can use databases for this, and it costs between £0.25 - £1 for a
range of checks, depending on scale and the provider you choose.
There are lots - they're basically a commodity. GBGroup, Experian
etc etc.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2. Is the person on the other end of the screen/device the
person they claim to be (anti-impersonation). This is more
interesting, and there are no silver bullets. Generally you'd take
a risk-based approach with tiered checks depending on the behaviour
of the user. You might send a small amount of money to the bank
account provided, post a confirmation code to the physical address
or send SMS confirmation codes to mobile phones. You could take
pictures of the user's face and compare it to an ID document. There
are many more things you can do, depending on how costly your risks
are.</div>

Looking for a Stripe for ID :)<br>
<br></span>If you’re prepared to pay for each check, you can use
services like GB group ID3Global, <a href="http://www.gbgplc.com/uk/products/gbg-id3global/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.gbgplc.com/uk/products/gbg-id3global/</a>. I
used to use this when it was called URU and it can confirm
addresses and date of births based on other address and DoB
sources. Obviously, if the person in question has gone to some
effort to lay down a false trail, it won’t help but it defeats
casual efforts.<br>
