IDENTITY VERIFICATION

The Foundation Every Other Check Relies On

National ID, passport, and address verification, plus SSN trace and right-to-work / immigration status — confirmed at the source before anything else is checked.

Why Identity Verification

Every other check in a background screening report assumes the person being checked is who they say they are. If identity isn't confirmed first, everything built on top of it is unreliable.

People Diligence verifies identity documents directly against issuing authorities — not by checking a scanned copy against itself.

Why People Diligence

Global providers know the world. Regional players know one market. People Diligence was built to know both — pairing international reach with the local compliance depth that catches what a generic check misses.

110+ on-the-ground partners across 22+ countries mean every check is verified locally, under local regulatory requirements — not run through a subcontractor with no real specialization in that market.

Compliance & Data Protection

Every report is produced under strict confidentiality, with candidate consent, and in line with applicable data-protection, AML, KYC, and regulatory obligations in each jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every subsequent check — employment, education and criminal — is run against the identity confirmed here. If this step is skipped or rushed, the rest of the report can't be trusted.
It's flagged immediately with the specific discrepancy noted, and the rest of the screening pauses until it's resolved — we don't proceed on an unconfirmed identity.
