Introduction to SearchX eSigning's Identity Verification Product

SearchX eSigning's identity verification enables clients to confirm their identity quickly and securely via mobile device. The process involves photographing government-issued identification and, when required, a selfie for facial comparison.

Powered by Stripe's trusted verification technology, SearchX eSigning combines photo matching, biometrics, and data validation to deliver accurate results. All data is stored on-shore in Australia, and verifications are authenticated via SMS to ensure only the intended recipient can complete the process.

How it works

Users create verification requests by entering client details — name, email, and mobile number. Optional organisational branding and additional checks like biometric selfies can be applied. Clients receive email and SMS notifications with access links.

The mobile-guided process includes:

• SMS authentication
• Personal detail confirmation
• ID type selection
• Document photography with alignment assistance
• Optional biometric selfie capture
• Automatic processing with result notification
