How it works

Overview

The identity proofing component is important for a reusable identity, as it allows you to:

  • Verify the identity and collect attributes when creating a new ReuseID user.
  • Perform a step-up identity verification for existing ReuseID users.
  • Collect additional information for existing ReuseID users.

After a successful identity proofing process, ReuseID adds a set of attributes to the user. These attributes can be returned to you in the response upon a successful authentication.

Note

The identity proofing component is an optional add-on to ReuseID. You can use one of our pre-defined flows, or we can create a custom flow to fit your requirements.

You can easily add identity proofing to your ReuseID by combining it with other Signicat products using one of our orchestration solutions. You can also orchestrate the flow yourself, with or without Signicat products.

ReuseID supports three options for conducting an identity proofing:

Ready-made flows

Our ready-made onboarding flows allow you to quickly roll out a full ReuseID solution, including identity verifications.

How to implement

Custom-made flows

If none of the ready-made flows fit your requirements, then we can help you design and build your own custom-made flows.

How to implement

Do-it-yourself flows

If you already have an identity proofing process in place, then you can keep that as is. ReuseID is flexible and allows you to create users and authentication methods without the identity proofing step.

You can manage the user's identity and set any user attributes at any time using our APIs.
