How it works
This is the default behavior for a variant of the Electronic identity check with Onfido as the data provider.
The check is performed by searching for the individual’s details (name, date of birth, address, and, in some cases, national identity number) in the sources supplied by Onfido.
The check passes when a 2+2 result is achieved, which happens when either of these conditions are true:
The individual’s full name and address are matched in one source. and the individual’s full name and are matched in a second source.
The individual’s full name and address are matched in two distinct sources.
If a 2+2 result cannot be achieved, the check looks for a 1+1 result.
The check returns a partial match when a 1+1 result is achieved, which happens when either of these conditions are true:
The individual’s full name, date of birth, and address are matched in one source.
The individual’s full name and address are matched in one source.
If the conditions are not met for a 2+2 result or a 1+1 result, the check fails.
If the individual’s profile doesn’t have data for the required fields, an error is displayed.
If the country of address in the individual’s profile isn’t covered by Onfido, an error is displayed.
Although the individual's national identity number can be used to search the Onfido's data in some cases, this check variant does not confirm the validity of the national identity number. For more information about how Onfido handles this check variant, see Onfido’s documentation.
