Why Identity Verification

Know exactly who is signing.

5-Question KBA

Knowledge-Based Authentication pulls from credit bureau data. 5 multiple-choice questions only the real person can answer. Must pass 4 of 5 to proceed.

Government ID Scan

Scan a driver license, state ID, or passport. AI verifies the photo, name, address, expiration date, and security features in seconds.

Liveness Detection

Real-time video confirms the person on camera matches the ID photo. Prevents impersonation and pre-recorded video attacks.

Fraud Scoring

AI analyzes device fingerprint, IP geolocation, and behavioral signals. High-risk sessions are flagged for manual review.

Multi-State Compliance

Meets RON identity verification requirements for all 50 states. Updated automatically as state laws change.

Audit Record

Every verification step is logged: KBA results, ID images, liveness screenshots, and fraud scores. Stored for 10 years per state requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)?: KBA is a quiz of 5 questions generated from credit bureau records. Questions are specific to the signer — past addresses, loan amounts, vehicle makes. The signer must answer at least 4 of 5 correctly within 2 minutes.
Which government IDs are accepted?: US driver licenses, state-issued IDs, and US passports. International passports from most countries are also accepted. The ID must be unexpired and have a photograph.
Is identity verification required for every signing?: Identity verification is required for Remote Online Notarization (RON) sessions. For standard e-signatures without notarization, it is optional but recommended for high-value documents.
Does identity verification cost extra?: Identity verification is included with every notarization session. No separate charge. Notarization ranges from $45-175 depending on document type.
What happens if the signer fails KBA?: If the signer fails the first attempt, they can try once more with a new set of questions. If they fail again, the session is terminated and the notarization cannot proceed until identity is verified in person.
How is my ID data protected?: ID images are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Data is stored in SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. KBA responses are never stored — only pass/fail results are recorded.
