Mirror EIDV checks include any combination of an Identity verification check, a Proof of address check, and/or an AML PEP and sanctions check.

​

‍1. Biometric Identity Verification Check 

‍Validate your client’s identity using a liveness check and ID document check, all through their smartphone. The Mirror ID verification check is GDPR compliant, CCPA compliant, and SOC 2 ready. ‍It is facilitated by Passbase and comprises of three components:

‍

Selfie recording: a smartphone's camera is used to capture an individual's face in real-time. This includes:

• Liveness Detection

• ID Face Authentication

• Measures 3D Depth, skin texture, eye reflections

• Real-time Computer Vision

Identity Document Check: a smartphone is used to scan an ID document's biometric chip, using NFC technology. This supports:

• 6,000+ documents across 190 countries

• Passports, National IDs, Drivers' Licenses (and other documents)

• ID Authenticity check

Completing authentication: the user is asked to confirm their document details (such as expiry date, issuing authority) are correct. The selfie recording and documentation is then reviewed and submitted.

• Transparency of transferred data points

• GDPR compliant process

• Encrypted data transfer

​

2. Proof of Address Check

Validate your client's address through commonly accepted proof of address documents, including but not limited to: utility bills, council tax, and bank statements, all through their smartphone. It can be executed one of two ways:

‍

Authenticated upload: The POA proof is downloaded directly from the bank or utility provider's website - authenticating the document at source: 

• Your client is asked to login to their utility provider or banking provider. They download the bill/statement directly from the website, thereby authenticating that the document came from that provider's website, ensuring that the document has not been doctored. 

• The client is asked to check that the document is dated within 3 months and lists their address before uploading. 

• No personal information (login details, account information) is shared with your firm or Mirror. The POA proof is only shared with the express permission of the client. 

‍

Device upload: The end-user uploads their utility bill or bank statement directly from their smartphone:

• Where an authenticated upload isn't feasible, your client can upload a utility bill or bank statement directly from their phone. This does not verify the POA document at source, therefore we cannot assure that the document has not been doctored between generation and upload. 

• The client is asked to check that the document is dated within 3 months and lists their address before uploading. 

​
